Put the fuel supply valve in the off position (the three possibilities are reserve - off - on). Start the bike up. When it stops running, your carb is drained.

Although I cannot be specific with this make and model, this trick has worked on numerous vehicles over the years. Disconnect the fuel line and unscrew the drain plug, which is located on the side or bottom of the carburetor bowl. Drain as much gas out as possible. Also drain and clean the fuel strainer and clean it with carburetor cleaner. Now either spray or pour carburetor cleaner into the fuel line and let it drain through the carburetor. At first it may not drain, but as it removes the varnish and gunk it should soon begin to flow. For really stubborn and a through cleaning of the carburetor you can replace the plug and fill the fuel line with cleaner and let it sit. I've done this in chainsaws, boats, bikes and cars over the years and have always fixed the problem.
I have a 1999 Shadow 600 VLX, shouldn't be any different than yours, oil capacity is 2.38 quarts if you drain and change oil filter.
87 octane unleaded. There is no benefit to running higher octane fuel in the VLX. The only caution is fuel with a heavy ethanol content as the ethanol can attract water when sitting for a while which will cause problems with the carburetor. (Personal experience.)
The oil capacity of the Honda Shadow VLX 600 is 2.1 liters. There will be a little more oil required to fill the oil filter at the oil change.

General consensus is about 34 hp.
