Bike dying in ON but runs in RES
10/24/16 at 16:31:17
The problem that I just started having is that the bike will not run for more than a few blocks if the petcock is set to the ON position but works fine in reserve. I am thinking this is a petcock issue but just want to make sure I am not missing anything. Is there something else I should be concerned with or look at? I have only had this bike a few weeks so I am still figuring out all its quirks.
I have read on here that the petcocks are a common problem so I have ordered a new one (Yamaha raptor 660). I like how it has an off position so I will probably change it out anyway even if the issue is with something else.

How much gas you got?...
It shouldn't matter as far as the vacuum pet is concerned... Res and on both use vacuum...
Prime setting doesn't...

Nope, what you have is a diaphragm that's getting hard.
You can replace the diaphragm but it's the same cost as a raptorcock.
So you might as well do that and have no more problems.

The question is are we missing anything? If in fact it runs in reserve,you could just have a plugged screen inside on the petcock,if the petcock has to be switched to pri then we would suspect a bad diaphragm.

Thank you for the responses. I have been fueling up the bike a little at a time with gas I had in the garage so I got used to it cutting out, getting home on reserve and adding a little more. I only realized I had a problem when I went to the gas station and filled up and it only took a gallon to be full only to cut out a few miles later. I will change it out this week and should be good.
