Is it ok to stand 400ex on the rear end in the garage

[mustang400ex]

Question,
I have been standing my fourwheelers up in the garage on there wheelie bars so they don't take up as much room. Is that hard on them? As long as I shut the fuel off, or is this a bad idea?

It'll be fine.

i stand mine up like that to work on them...im pretty sure its ok.

[honda300EXtreme]

yea, it will be okay. just make sure you let them sit for a few minutes before trying to start them

[mustang400ex]

sounds good, thanks!!

just my experience but ive seen bikes develop leaks like that. especially ones with old seals. i dont think they were meant to be stored that way.

[f150mann]

working on them is one thing, i personally would not store them like that.. you will get leaks, seals tend to go bad like that. just build a little shed or something for it?

Do the limbo and ride that ***** up.

there was i thing like that in dirt wheels last year but the guy hinged the top level so he didn't need a ramp and then he used a winch to make it rise

thats a pretty trick idea. youve obviously never bumped the noggin have you? :D


it looks like you could go down a couple inches on the upper deck... have you measured to see if it'd clear?

[CarGuy7a]

you could find some sort of hand crank with a cable and anchor it to the wall stud. then just hook it to the front of the quad and pull it up the ramps.

kind of like the way a wench on a rollback truck works.

Thats not my idea. I just posted a pic of what another guy did. Im thinking about making the platform like 2 feet off the ground. That way I can store all my gear and parts under the quad insted of everywhere around the garage. Probly wont happen though

x2, just shut the fuel off and run the it for a minute or 2 to drain the carb b4 standing it up so that it wont flood
