[QUOTE="TWILKIN650, post: 885151, member: 27"] It went pretty well. I siphoned out what gas I could, then turned the tank upside down, drained out some more and shook some more out. Because of the filler neck extension into the tank, I couldn't get the last quart out, so decided not to flush with IPA, just a couple of quarts of gas. What came out of the tank was light yellow in color, with no noticable water. I've been using Stabil in filled tanks that might sit more than a couple of weeks, so maybe some of the discoloration was from the Stabil. I'd not done this in the six years that I've had the bike, so thought it was time. Others have reported getting some free water out of the tank along with miscellaneous crud, so I figured it was time. Thanks for the responses; just didn't want to screw something up that wasn't already broke. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
