you should be able to pull off a fuel line and drain it into a empty gas can.
if not get a siphon from the auto parts store to get out most then run the engine till it all gone

Yeah, do what johngute said, OR you could just stick a long straw into the tank and drink it out.

Isn't it bad for the fuel pump to run the engine completely dry... or is that for cars only.

Most bikes are gravity feed, no fuel pump. I know that on my Honda Nighthawk I can just turn off the fuel tap, disconnect the line from the carb and run it into a fuel can, then turn the tap back on.

with a straw ... u can get them @ any mc donalds or 7-11

The easiest way I found was to put it in reserve mode and then pull the reserve pipe out and have it drain out.

If your planning to store it for winter, you might as well keep the fuel in there and put some something called 'STABIL" in there.. and run it for a few minutes and then dont have to worry for the rest of the winter.

yeah, take out the line between the tank and carb.
