This isn't technically a question, but I'll take a stab at answering what I think you're asking. There are three positions on that bike's petcock. They are: On, Res, and Pri. Meaning regular tank, reserve tank and prime. There's no Off because the petcock is vacuum driven, meaning if the engine isn't running, there is no vacuum, so the petcock is off, it doesn't need a setting for that. On is what you use normally, Res if you run low on gas, Pri is only used if you want to get fuel in the carbs without the bike running for some reason, or draining the tank or something. Some people use that setting if their petcock is bad, because you can run it that way if you have a vacuum leak caused by a bad diaphragm, but it can cause some problems, flooding, etc. Hope that's what you needed.

What are the 3 positions of a petcock on a 94 Suzuki GSXR 750 and which way does each point?

Almost every motorcycle petcock has a main or "ON", reserve or "RES" and off or "OFF" position marked on it. If the markings are not there, check your fuel lines. The main line will begin on a higher point on the gas tank than the reserve. The off position is halfway between the main and reserve positions.
