Anyone know of any problems with storing a 400ex standing upright, on its grab bar, between rides?

With the oil reservoir/dry sump, is there a chance of oil filling the cylinder/head up while sitting for a week at a time?

Thanks in advance.

garage is filling up!

400ex, grand cherokee, deep freeze, harley, dekes, 2 boat motors and a work bench! Now a friend wants to store his raptor here for a while.

If I could stand them up against the front wall I would have plenty of room. just a thought.

real answer: new house!

we had a '72 atc 90 as a kid and I remember the manual showing it being stored that way (upright).

Build a small shed outside in the backyard, to store equipment and 2 quads, that what i did. Works great. Plus i have a small steel shed to store another quad in, impossible to break into :D
