If it starts to sputter and die while you're riding and you think you're out of gas, you can reach down and switch it to reserve and not stall from lack of fuel. It'll get gas and keep going - very good when you can't pull off to the side of the road. Practice finding the valve without looking at it and know where it is when you are riding. Figure you have 40-50 miles to go before you completely run out, depending on how you ride.
To avoid being totally dead without fuel, like was said before, be sure you set it back to run when you fill up and reset the odometer so you have some idea of what's left for travel in the tank. Fill it every 150 miles and you will never have a problem running out.
