Default RE: drain fuel

pull your fuel line off the carburator and put a gas can under the loose end of the hose. then turn your fuel selector to prime. you should probably have the gas cap open so it doesnt create a vacuum inside the tank.

so by the way, this was the biggest pain ever to do. I cut the zip tie at the pri/sec switch and pulled off the tube thinking that the gas would just nicely flow. WRONG. the bike has to be on for fuel to flow, so you have to turn on the bike and then hold the gas can, or in my case a water bottle, under the switch. Then when the bottle is full re attach the tube. if you turn off the bike there may not be enough fuel in the carbs, which I didn't Think of so I had a few issues.
