I beleive those things are Fuel Injected,Dry Sump engines.



Gonna have a tuff time finding Carbs to drain :)



Draining the engine sump is not gonna be very productive either,,,it carries very little in engine sump/



You must drain ''Oil Tank'',,,which is a unique arrangement on these motors,,,,,,far as remote tanks go.



Here's an Owner's Manual.



It details the Oil Drain procedure

* Note that Fuel Tank wont drain when hose is removed.



Easiest way is to Remove Tank,,invert it and drain through Filler Cap.



If you want the tank DRY,,which is probably Safest/Best....



Shake Out what ya can,,,,then stick a Blow Dryer in the filler hole till it's Dry.



Use a medium or Cool setting.



DONT let the Tank overheat,in interest of avoiding paint damage.
