Best when the engine is cool too.

Ok, so nothing to take apart then? I just go to the engine, find the screws, unscrew them, let the fuel come off and screw them back, right?

Basically yeah.
Put a rag or something else to soak up or redirect the fuel away from the engine if possible.
It's not a lot of fuel, we're only looking at roughly an egg cup full each time.
I'll warn you again though, use a proper fitting screwdriver and go easy on them, do not try and bodge it, otherwise it will all get a bit messy.

Cheers Darrsi :thumbup
One more question though: I am servicing the bike and since the starting issue might come from blocked jet I was wondering whether it would be a good idea to clean the tank? However I don't know how to do that, any tips??

So, in the end I did flush the float bowls and look what I found:
Now it starts on the button, just need to blip the throttle a few times and that's all.
Thanks to everybody !

:thumbup, probably bits of crap on bottom of petrol tank that got disturbed when the bike went over.
