Answer 1

Take the gas line from the fuel petcock on the bottom of the tank and drain it that way. You also need to drain the carb bowl.

Answer 3

The only problem with fuel stabilizer to "just let it set during the winter", is often, people end up letting it set a lot longer than intended.
I can't t ell you how many carbs I had to unplug the idle jet from people doing this.
I always pull the fuel line at the carb, stick the hose in a gas can, turn on the petcock, and let it flow.
Also, drain the float bowl. Sometimes, there is a drain plug on the bottom, others, you have to remove the bowl to drain it.

Answer 4

You dont have to drain the gas, you can mix in some fuel stabilizer, run it for a few minutes and park the bike for the winter and it will be just fine

Answer 5

Always give year, make, engine size and model # when asking questions.
Yamaha makes a lot of different dirt bikes. Explaining how to change each model's oil&filter is time consuming.

Answer 6

I think that the best thing for you to do is get a repair manual for the bike. It will explain most all of your questions and it will be fun learning and doing things yourself.

Answer 7

take it off the bike and shake it out the gas cap
