my family has 2 06' Honda trx 450s and 2 '05 Polaris Trailblazers inside the garage section of our 5th wheel. they fit snug all 4 side by side, but it does the trick. my dad wanted a lil extra room in the back to fit a ice cooler, so he decided to stand up both of the TRX's. i didnt agree with it cuz the guy who sold them to us told us not to do it. my dad and his friend were like.... we put the gas switch to off so it doesnt matter. i just need to know if this is a good or bad idea and what are the effects? i really dont want my bike getting messed up if we keep doing this when we go out to the dunes. thanks.

they should be fine just make sure there straped down tight and the gas off. i have put a 250ex and a race 300ex in a 83 ford ranger before that way and the only thing that was a pain was the bumper on the 300 riped the 250ex's seat.

it wont hurt anything at all. but once you put them back on all 4s, let them sit for 5 mins or so and let all the oil drain back down.

ive had mine stood up for about 1.5 hours and when we got to the place to ride it fired right up, no issues.

I had my Warrior inside of my garage all winter like that. It didn't hurt anything on it at all.
