This may have been answered before, but...
I need to store my 2000 SV for about 6 months - i know i need to drain the fuel from the carbs, but how do i actually do this? (my knowledge of bikes is fairly limited

, but i'm a good follower of instructions

! )
Also, what else do i need to do to ensure the bike remains in good condition - is there anything i will need to do to when i start it all up again? I won't be in the country for 6 months, so i can't come back to it from time to time.
Any advice much appreciated...
Thanks
