The reserve fuel system on a 1996 Yamaha Virago 1100 (XV) functions by utilizing a secondary fuel supply within the gas tank. When the main fuel level drops below a certain point, the rider can switch the petcock (fuel valve) from "On" to "Reserve," allowing access to the remaining fuel stored in a separate section of the tank. This reserve typically holds enough fuel for an additional 30-50 miles, providing a crucial buffer to prevent running out of gas unexpectedly. Riders should monitor fuel levels closely and switch back to "On" once refueled to ensure proper fuel flow.
