    550es petcock positions: newbie question

    Hi all, new to the forums as well as riding motorcycles. I recently got a low mileage 1986 GS550ES, but it is missing the side covers, which I am told show what position the petcock should be turned for Prime, Res, and On.

    I understand that this is an exrememly dumb question and yes I've searched the forums as well as google for this info but to no avail. Does anyone here have experience with this model and now what the petcock positions are?

    Thank you for you time and patience.
    Tim

          I wonder if they changed that in '86... I have an 85 550ES, an 83 550ES, an 83 550E, an 80 550E, and a 78 550E....

          all of them have the same function if not the same petcock..

          to the rear is prime....

          to the front is reserve...

          straight down is "on"....
