Just use a short philips head in a extension with a small rachet. To remove or install the bowl you might have to push lightly on the battery box.The main comes out with a short screwdriver

I dont know why I never thought of this, I've drained the bowl multiple times with the bike intact, just never thought I could actually get to the jets without having the carb in the open.

Those stock screws are a bear to get out and will likely strip out the head. And change them out for SS allen head screws so next time it's easy.

Good Idea. Use a NEW phillipshead bit to get them out! The factory screws are very soft. I replaced mine without carb removal with quality Phillips head screws because I had them. Wink

Bike was almost new when I did this

We keep taking them off full of gas, and petcock still bolted to the bottom. And we keep saying, gal darn, why can't I do this while it's empty?

My 2001 comes off with a little coaxing. I don't' take the petcock off because I've got a good seal between it and the tank and I want to leave it that way. If you decide to take it a part, plan to replace the o-ring every few years.
