Default transporting quads

Is there any harm in transporting my quad standing straight up (on the wheelie bar) inside of an enclosed trailer? I would of course run the gas out first, but will there be any type of "fluid" going where it should not be or cause any short/long term damage to anything? I would probably be traveling no more than 1-2 hours. Thanks a head of time.

Ive done it before with piggybacked blasters. You could just shut off the fuel but they will be less top heavy if you drain the tanks. The only risk that I can think of as long as you dont drive like a maniac is bending the grab bar. The odds of that happening are really slim. Best investment you can make is some high quality ratchet straps.

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't think it would hurt anything but I wanted to make sure first. I def. have multiple sets of good ratchet straps and plan on using them! Thanks again!

We have stood up 2-strokes for many years, just watch the gas.
But, some of the 4-strokes have engine vent tubes that you might need to pinch. For example, the Predator will leak engine oil into the airbox if you do not pinch the vent tube.
Just something to look for.
