first step would be to drop a match in the tank to evaluate how much fuel is actually in there.

Re: besy way to get gas out f4i tank

take the tank off the bike


pop the 10mm fuel pump screws off the bottom, and the gas will run out the bottom


Thats the only way your gonna get almost all the fuel out of it



But if your just transfering it to another bike, why drain the fuel? I NEVER drained mine until the day I had to have it welded

Aye ya forgot to mention clamp the lines

I personally use C-clamps, and just clamp the main fuel line and pinch it ALL the way down before I remove the fuel line

then all that comes out is the gas left in the line and throttle bodies
