Fuel Cock - Yamaha Virago XV250P Owner's Manual

Fuel cock

The fuel cock supplies fuel from the tank to
the carburetors while also filtering it.
The fuel cock has three positions, which
should be set as illustrated.
ON: With the fuel cock in this position, fuel
flows to the carburetors when the en-
gine is running. Set the fuel cock to this
position when starting the engine and
for riding.
RES: This stands for "reserve". If you are run-
ning out of fuel while riding with the fuel
cock in the "ON" position, quickly turn
the lever to this position. Otherwise the
engine may die and will have to be
primed (see "PRI" below). After turning
the lever to "RES", fill the tank at the
first opportunity and be sure to set the
fuel cock back to "ON"!
