Default Question about winterizing

I'm about ready to put my bike up until spring and I had a question. I read a few threads about how you need to drain the carb bowls. I just wanted to know exactly where the screw is to do that. On the left side of the bike, I can see one screw which I think is it. But, is this the only one?? Or is there one on each carb? Pics would help! Thanks.

If you're that worried, here's a quick workaround.

(Step 1) Put your petcock to the 'Off' position
(Step 2) Start up bike
(Step 3) Wait...

Might want to put some stabil in your gas tank before you run the carbs dry.

There is 1 screw per carb. There is 2 facing each side of the bike. Very small screws, be careful not to back it out to far & don't over tighten when the gas is done draining. If your bike has a hose under each carb, great, but if not go ahead & close the screws back up afterward, then hose of the engine area good but with light pressure.
