I use a long tube running into a white dish situated off the bike. I use a white dish as it makes it easier to see any dirt that might be in the petrol too.
Using a tube is less akward that having something put under it like a glass shot especially if you want to drain and flush through a lot more than whats in the float bowl. I got dirty petrol that was so fine that it by-passed the filter on a Bandit 600. There was a lot of it there and it didn't help matters that the bike was sitting idle for 3 months after a crash. It took almost 200-300mls of drainage off of each carb before coming clean again. With a tube, I could just let it run off freely into the dish while inspecting it until the petrol was clean.
And of course, it goes without saying that don't forget to perform this task when the engine is cold to avoid buring your hands off a hot engine or spilling any petrol on it..........and NO
mokin !!!!
