no, the fuel injection takes care of turning the fuel on and off. thats why when you turn the key on and if its quiet enough you can hear the fuel pump go on for about 4 seconds. there is no reserve since there is a fuel light on the mini dashboard. it sucked the first time i rode it because im used to havin the reserve and forgot about the fuel light so i ran out otf gas haha. luckily i was with my ridin buds
