Don't rush this process or you'll make a huge flammable mess!

Once it drained, you can do whatever maintenance you want to do on the bike.
Now, that being said, unless you're going to do a total rebuild of the carb, you don't really have to drain the float bowl. The only thing that draws fuel from the bowl is engine vaccuum. So you can do quite a bit of carb play without losing any fuel.

Handy drain. I was just thinking it might be a good idea to do a flowt bowl drain once a year to drain out any unwanted build-up of deposits. That and an inline fuel filter should keep things mung free.
