It does not have a reserve switch - it has a sensor in the reserve tank that turns a light on on the dash when you are low on fuel.

No. The fuel switch has two settings. On and Off. No reserve setting was designed in to it. If it is the same as my 83 750 shadow they put an indicator light on it to show when you were on reserve (mine was broken when I first found out about it and yes I had to push the bike to gas station)
The Honda shadow does not have a gas gage it has a lite that comes on when you get to the reserve portion of the tank.
