Went you switch on the reserve no fuel comes out
SOURCE: fuel reserve
Very doubtful. They haven't used reserves on motorcyles for a while, since the frame design changed to allow for a tank that had no partition in it (it used to sit over the top-tube of the frame, now it sits in the frame instead). The low-level indicator lights also made reserves obsolete.
Hope this helps,

ever drain your carbs ? should be done seasonally . fuel filter problem, sounds like it is running out of gas.
SOURCE: gas is dripping from the petcock fuel valve( cover
Your bike has a vacuum operated petcock. The vacuum diaphram inside the cover set has cracked and is allowing fuel to leak from the vent hole. Unfortunately, you cannot buy just the diaphram, you've got to buy the cover set (#5 in the picture below), P/N 16953-KEA-023, or replace the whole petcock assembly (item #2), P/N 16950-MEM-674.

hi,sounds like you have a blocked main jet in one of the carbs,when the fuel sits in the bowls it will evaporate and leave behind a residue that is quite difficult to remove even with a carb cleaning compound,what i do in this case is remove the carbs,remove all the jets,place all the jets in a saucer or dish and fill with petrol,leave them for a few days,this will soften the residue,then use compressed air or a crc typecan with carb cleaner and force clean them by squirting the fluid through them,do not use(as some people do) a piece of wire to clean through them,this will scratch the inside of the jet and alter the fuel flow charicteristics of the jet and render it all but useless,once you have them all absolutely spotless,reassemble and put the carbs back in,just about put money on it that your problem will dissappear,hope this helps...cheers
