1984 reserve on off

[superdiver]

I dont ever remember finding a reserve on off valve on my original bike, and I cant find one on my new old bike. Does it come with a reserve on off?

I know where the fuel on off is.....

My old 84 700 had no reserve switch, just the idiot light that is supposed to come on when you hit reserve.
Reset your trip odometer every fill up and keep track of how many miles you get on a tank. If you rely on the light and it decides not to work you wil be walking.

There is no valve. I wish there was, but there's not. My low fuel switch** died a couple years ago and I have to count miles now. It's not the best estimator because it largely depends on my mpg and therefore driving habits. A couple of times I got lazy and didn't refill early and then lost track of the mileage. Ugh I hate being late to work.

Anyway the reserve tank is in line with the main tank. All fuel from the main tank goes through the reserve tank so there's no way to valve control the reserve tank in the current setup.
