And now to my query

When i started,i filled in 4 liters of petrol(the fuel cock was in main i.e. long side of the knob was facing down).There was 3 points in the fuel indicator..after some kms the orange fuel light lit up.
Now i didn't turn the fuel cock knob up..it was still down..after the light lit up i rode some 75~80 kms and suddenly the engine strutured to a stop.
i could not start it again even after turning the fuel knob up.but there was some fuel left in the tank..why is this??

what does the orange light suggest??
when should i turn the fuel cock knob up??
when is the bike using the reserve petrol??

My bike has done 540 kms.I have taken it today from the first service today only.
When i asked the TVS service center guys..they didn't know and yapped something.
