does it hurt to store atv's standing

[450rJam]

the toy shed is almost full, I have seen people haul atv's upright
but you think there would be any harm in storing them like that ?

as long as the fuel is off there only thing that might happen is you could scratch the grab bar what kind of dirtbike is the larger 2 stroke one?

its a cr80 1999
my son is 13 but he only weights 75-80 pounds
he can smoke 400ex's in a drag race and he is only 6 or so lengths behind my 450r.

Im not sure what all has been done to it but that little thing rips
I cant keep the front tire on the ground (Im more than 80 pounds)

if you do stand them up I would let them sit on flat ground for about 5 minutes so the oil has a chance to settle again.

good idea, dont want to have a dry oil pump at start up.

I think you would want to pinch off or plug the breather tube to the airbox/carb to save oil and make an easier start!
