How you drain the fuel on these things?

I siphon it out through the filler neck.

The two ways, whichever sounds easier is up to you, there is a drain plug bolt on the bottom of frame, or you can siphon it as General_tso suggests. Personally I would siphon, as it requires no disassembly.

Here is what it looks like on a XB, it is the same thing but on the right side of the frame on the 1125.

You can pump most of the fuel out by disconnecting the fuel line from the fuel rail and cycling the kill switch

You can always open the cap and turn the bike over.
