Default Transport Raptor Vertical

Anyone know if there are problems transporting a raptor vertically on the rear wheels and grab bar. Goal is two quads in the back of a pickup. Any thoughts

Well, when I installed my skids I flipped my rappy up on the grab bar and gas leaked into the airbox...so i would look out for that...

I don't think it hurts anything IMO Just turn off gas, and I may let it sit on all 4's a few minutes before I started it after unloading.... Let any oil run down.

After I brought it down it took a little while to get it started.....I guess all the gas came out of the carbs...

Yes, even if you shut off the gas at the tank, when you stand it on end all the gas left in the float bowls will drain into the airfilter. An easy solution is to let it idle for a couple minute with the gas shut off to burn all the gas left in the float bowls. When it starts idling rough, it is almost out of gas. Just shut it off, flip it up, and no gas leakage!
