Pingel petcock .. reserve is in the middle

[Guest]

Recently bought a little Kawasaki Ninja .. with a manual petcock.

On it .. the RUN position (I was told) is the center position of the lever.


After not riding my Pingel equipped 1100 for a while .. my feeble mind transferred that information to it.


Coming home from the Red River Rally, I filled up down there and when arriving home I neglected to top off as I normally would do.

This morning .. riding to work .. I noticed that I had big miles on the trip odometer ..

Shortly after .. I turned into my workplace .. to hear the engine die.


In my driveway .. I noticed .. the little RES stamped into the PINGEL.


Lesson learned

All the Pingels I have had and the one now on my GS450 are lever forward Off. Lever in the middle RESERVE. Lever to the rear ON
