It runs completely fine with no issues when it's on reserve however if I switch to the "On" position within a minute or so the bike bogs down and dies out. I'm hoping you guys can help me out in fixing this somewhat issue because it forces me to reset my trip calculator and get gas every 80 miles or so because I'm afraid I'll run out of gas far from home
Welcome, Paul !!!

The 2007 is a great bike; congratulations

You cloud try the simple trick of counter-blowing the petcock when in the ON position.

There is an internal mesh filter that may have become clogged if gasoline was left inside the tank to slowly evaporate during several weeks or months.
