Answer 1

I don't know what model you have but if it's fuel injected it may not have a petcock, check the owners manual for what it states about the light blinking and how much fuel you have left. And generally speaking it needs to be upright and on level ground to obtain an accurate reading through the window...  

Answer 2

1. does it have a fuelcock you have to turn on? if not, then no it doesn't have a reserve

2. no idea

3. you can lean it on the stand. unless your bike leans really far to one side, it will be fine.  

Answer 3

your tank holds 4.5 gallons, the lite sensors on this bike i believe work thru temp. so they are not always reliable. What you need to do is to fill up the tank, go out and ride (37.5 mpg) and when the lite starts comming on fairly full time, go to a gas station and fill tank, deduct how much you put in from 4.5 gallons (Say you put 3.7 gallons in) then you know you will have apx .75 gallons reserve or 28 miles to go when it starts blinking.

Always measre oil on a bike thats upright.
