Draining Old Gas

To get all of the old fuel out, take the tank from the bike and pour it out through the filler neck. It's hard to get all of the fuel out throught the fuel tap.
Drain the bowl by removing the main jet cover.

So Basically detach the tank from the bike? Tip it upside down and drain it that way? The main jet cover is where, and how do I access the carb? Sorry for being such a noob :whoa:

Yes! The tank should come of quite easily. You will probably have to remove the seat too. I'm talking 5 minutes for both. Then tip out the fuel.

The main jet cover is on the bottom of the float bowl of the carby. It just screw right out (using the appropriate sized spanner. The fuel will spill onto the engine so stuff an old rag under there first to soak up the fuel. Then put her back together and you are away.

f you are not keen to remove the seat and tank, you can drain most of the fuel from the tank by disconnecting the hose from the carb and draining it into a container, through the tap. It's hard to get it all out though.

Good luck
