Doing it occasionally should be no problem, but you'll tweak the frame/grab bar to the point of where it will break if you do that long enough...it's not designed to be a wheelie bar...I learned that the hard way on my TRX300EX

By standing it on it's end, you flooded the carb/engine with gas, which is why it took a while to restart

OK, but could you please explain in more detail on how the vac supplied system works on this machine and why it won't flood.
I'd really like to learn.
My thinking is that when things get upside down/up/etc. and stall, it allways seems that there is a puff of fuel gasses unburnt that makes starting hard. Maybe flooded isn't the right word for my train of thought.
OK dude, School me.

Lol...the 6-pack rack is exactly what I was using as a wheelie bar on my 300EX....the aluminum strips will not withstand the beating the bike takes when used as a wheelie bar...they will bend, stress and fracture eventually

gas will not enter the carb unless you give it throttle........period. If it is on Prime then it will.
You will bent the sub-frame if you are hitting too hard against the grab bar or a 6 pack rack. For the record my six pack rack is my whelie bar too.

Yeah that happens to my Z all the time when It's vertical for a while like when i'm washing it or working on somthing I just put on the wheelie bar. Although I have a welded thich steel bar on there with steel rods through it into the subrame so its not going anywhere I slam this thing down on pavement and she holds tight
