Is the position determined by the lil "handle" of the petcock lever, or the other side?

Like in this pic http://faq.f650.com/FAQS/Photos/TankOffPhotos/Petcock.jpg would you turn it to the left or to the right for "ON"?

Its an 81 Kawa KZ750. Reserve is on the left, prime on top, and on is to the right, couldn't get a pic of it though

The position is determined by the other side. Think of the lil "handle" as the shaft of an arrow and the other side, the tip. turn the handle to the right for reserve and the opposite direction for off.

never park or keep in best. This place forces the petcock open with the engine no longer working. in case you have the different difficulty (like a sticky needle valve) you threat engine injury from gasoline an infection on your oil. in the experience that your motorcycle isn't the right age to have an Off place, it may desire to be left in Run or Reserve. In those positions the petcock is closed by utilising spring if the engine isn't working.

JB gave the correct answer.
Another way to think about it.
When your fingers are on the lever
Your hand would block the words
What ever the lever is pointing, to and the word is visible, is the position of the petcock.

Shouldn't this be a question for Men's Health?
