    Remove the fuel line from the carb, put it into a fuel container and open the petcock to reserve then wait. As for the 'other fluids' I really do for your bikes sake hope you know how to change the oil, just omit the 'refill with fresh oil' step.

    Very simple to do, drain the carb, tank and tranny oil. Be sure to refill the oil before startup.....

    or put a hose in the fuel tank and suck it out
    No, just take the hose of the carb and let it drain, it's the easiest way.
    To drain the oil, it's best if you let the engine warm up a little bit, then the oil comes out easier.

    dont forget the coolent, i would pop the hose off the water pump and kick it over a few times to get the coolent out of the pump, then pull the plug on the side of the head.

    Now we're talking about shipping bikes. I'm looking for a Tecate 4 for some time now, and they are for sale in the US, but I'm from Belgium.
    Does anyone know a company that is reliable that can ship a quad from the US to Belgium for example ?
