I have wondered the same thing regarding the oil. Is that no problem?

It's not a problem at all. Oil is not going to leak into places it's not supposed to....that's what gaskets and engine seals are for ;) If oil is physically able to reach any part of the motor (when you tip it up, to the side, while riding a wheelie, etc) then it was meant to be bathed in oil. So like if you tip it to the left side, oil is not going to pour into the stator housing because there are seals that prevent that.

turn the gas off and run it for a while till all the gas is out of the carb. then you can tip it up without it leaking.

what he said. i would just run the bike out of gas with the gas turne off it you are worried about that lil bit of gas that is going to co me out.

if you are worried about the oil it isn't a big deal. and if you want to just be safe...then let it set for a bit before you start it up.

why would you run your quad so LEAN that it dies? thats not very good for the engine if you think about it

I have a tribe of bi-sexual Thai girls that lift my quad up for me.
They always plug the gas cap line;that is until one of them got me a lil breather-cap thingy that blocks fuel from coming out of the line.
