Default petrol filter in the tank

how do you clean it? without petrol going every where? the only thing i can think of is run the bike low on fuel?

run it low, take off tank, tip tank on its side on a table , remove fuel assembly, clean and replace in reverse

Yup. It's just a wee gauze filter btw, they don't tend to block up much except when a tank's badly rusted.

i did not think of removing the tank completely

my off road bikes used to get quite mucky, & it does say in the book to clean now and then,

anyway the bike seems fine now, so i dont know why it would not start this morning?
