Hey guys to clean your rappy is this okay? I did it.. i put it in gear and i turned the gas off and there is a little bit of gas comming out of someplace.. I was wandering if its okay to do this often because it started when i put it back down... I think the air filter was more wet though is this common?

 

I myself wouldnt do it.

 

whys that?

 

Its fine,,,,,if you turn the fuel off.

When you are done,,,,remove the airbox cover and remove the airbox drain cap,,,,to let any excess fuel dry out. Some gas will usually run back into the airbox.

If you are maintaining your filter properly,,,it shouldnt be an issue at all.......fairly common practice.

 

Bing- Thankyou so much thats the answer i was looking for! How bout i take my filter out before i turn the fuel off and stand it up? wouldn't it be better? so i wont have to clean the filter again?

 

Yeah i dont think that it would hurt anything I stand mine up on the grab bar all the time, Oh you meant when you clean it didnt you???

 

Look in your owner's manual.

I don't know about the Rappy, but I've seen in other manuals where it states 2 ways in how to store a quad, and standing it on it's grab bar, or keeping it on it's wheels are both acceptable.

(and yes, I would definately have the fuel off first... Perhaps even go as far as to let it run w/ the fuel off til it dies, to get rid of the excess gas.)

 

anyone else?

 

Been doing it that way for years...turn off the fuel...it will be fine.

 

you can even haul em standing up
