keepinITshee Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 (edited) I see people stand up quads all the time in the back of trucks/trailers. How safe is this for the bikes? Is there anything to worry about or look out for? Also, Storage.. Would it be a bad idea to store my bike standing up on the rear grab bar? Edited February 28, 2008 by keepinITshee Quote

As long as the fuel is off. LOL How long are you planning on storing it? Quote
zach45 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 we do it all the time... we do it all the time.. sorry for such a small picture.. Quote
yamahauler Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 fuel off and watch your fuel vent hose, it could leak out and splatter while moving Quote
BansheeKid15 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 like said above. also if you can drain most of the fuel out of your carb bowls that helps too because it will come out. Quote

I stood mine up and some ran out the carbs and through my K&N. So I have goopy red oil and gas in the airbox, then I had to clean and re-oil the filter. Would have saved some time to just run it out of gas! Quote
fastrthnu Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 drain your carbs, NP. Ill say it the 12th time too. shut off the gas. ALSO not mentioned, if like myself you dont use a rear case vent line, your oil may leak out of that too. Quote
inthemail Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 forgot about the vent line, if you got one it will be directly under your rear engine mount. (plastic piece with a hose) iif that aint there, theres a hole you may wanna plug up if your worried about oil drippin Quote
