Why are we all making this so complicated? He may have just run out of fuel and needed the reserve setting to get the bike running again.
Keep track of your miles after you fill the tank (with the petcock in the ON position - see the arrow on the long arm, pointed forward), fill it every 150 miles, and see if the problem is solved. If you have run out of gas and emptied the carb bowl, switching to RES will still take a few seconds to get the bike started, and with the choke on and the engine warm, of course it's going to race. Just don't run out of fuel again.
