So, you might ask "Why would you ''want'' to drain the carb float bowls?" It's a good idea to drain the carbs for long term storage (winterizing). It's also the first step if you're going to be removing the carbs for cleaning, but you'd also need to drain them as part of troubleshooting a non-running or poorly running bike... typically a rather ''sudden'' change in running condition, usually right after filling up with gas. This is normally water in the gas, which sinks to the lowest spot possible ~ the carbs.


First off, the bike under dissection here is a Bandit 400. While not a 250, the work is the same, things look very much the same, and you'd get the same results (meaning this is something that is bike/manufacturer independent... the only requirement is that there are carbs).
