Hi, on a rvf 400 fuel tap should the pointy bit of the tap be
pointing down for it to be on reserve?
sorry for the shit description.
thanks,steve.

Turn the fuel tap anti-clockwise (as you're looking at it from the left side of the bike, turn towards the back until it won't turn anymore), that will then be on reserve.

Thanks for reply.

Oops, so sorry, I just realised I got my clocks back to front!!! I should have said turn the fuel tap 'clockwise' all the way, that will be on reserve now.

As Ronin says..and you'll end up with the pointy bit pointing down.
