Yup, fork lock is separate while the ignition, gas cap, helmet lock, and battery/tool pouch cover should all be keyed the same (unless maybe something was replaced).
There should be a petc0ck valve on the left side of the tank with three settings. I think they are RUN, PRI (prime) and RES (reserve). Unless it's been altered, it's vacuum-operated in RUN and RES and simple gravity-feed in PRI. There's a vacuum line that runs from the petc0ck to the carb and provides vacuum when the engine is running to allow fuel flow in the RUN and RES positions. When the engine is off, the fuel flow stops. PRI is used to prime the carb but you shouldn't leave it in that position when the engine is off or you may come back to a puddle of fuel under your bike.
Now that I think about it, I'm not absolutely sure whether it's vacuum or gravity operated in the RES position. Does anyone know for sure?
