is it unsafe to stand up a four stroke quad vertically in the bed of a truck? i heard it was because the engine oil comes back and the water and all the fluids etc.

As long as you let it sit for a little while it is alright. You also want to turn your gas off and make sure your gascap vent is not dangling, which would cause gas to leak.

It's fine, just make sure to turn the gas off before you do it. After you're done hauling it let it sit for awhile to let everything settle down again.

His sig says he's got a 450r too. ;)
I've never had an issue with any quad transported on its haunches.
