If it was actually 'off' it should only run for maybe 30sec to 1min then die.
If it was actually 'res' then you may have contaminant in tank that slowly clogs petcock intake and strangles fuel supply.
Switching to res temporarily gives it a clear pickup,but it would also clog given time.when the bike is off, the vacuum subsides and releases sediment from intake.
Remove tank,sluice out.
Remove petcock,blow through from carb end with tap in both main and res positions.check intake visually for damage

Funnily enough I realized today I have been running the tank on reserve since day 1 and today I ran it on ON and then reserve, same issue. When I turn it off it runs for like 2-3 minutes and then cuts out.
