Had this in the maintenance thread but haven't gotten any responses and I need to knw my tomorrow afternoon. Would it be ok to park my quad on the grab bar, standing upright for a long period of time? I turned the gas off and ran it until it stalled, although there is still some gas in the tank. There is also still some oil in the quad. I parked it like this to eliminate an oil leak form the bottom of the case out of the gasket. Thanks for any help.

it should be alright imagen just make sure the gas is turned off and if anything else starts to leak just put it down

that was when someone was referring to keeping it outside, which the cold will kill a battery to the point that it will never work again
