That screw isn't a drain, it the compression adjuster.

Be very careful when looking at online info on Harley forks...Only info specifically for FXDX, FXDXT, and Sportster S is applicable... Everything else has nothing in common.

If you have never done it, or a bit sceptical get a shop to do it. Forks are a safety item and it needs to be done right.

F86 and I both have Mikunis. The Keihins and S&S carbs are fine, too. In my experience, most carbs are fine as long as they're properly tuned and sized.
