Default Transporting the Raptor 700 up on its tail

I know the 700 is fuel injected, I was stating that mine leaks upright, it doesnt matter if the gas is on or off on MY bike, it leaks. I have a bad gasket.

Just because a bike has a carb doesnt mean that it is going to leak when its upright. I've seen plenty of carburated quads standing upright fill a full - 1/2 tank of gas not one drop hits the ground
Sure it does. As long as there is fuel in the tank and the gas is on. When you tip the carb up or put it on it's side fuel will run out of the over flow tube because the float assembly can not control fuel level in the float bowl.

I understand that...I am refering to MY quad and my quad only, regardless of whether the gas is on or off it leaks. Now, normally if your gas is off and you flip your qaud upright, it should not leak! Carb or no carb..and whatever gas does leak is teh ramaining in teh carb when the gas is off. I've had my quad upright many many times when I first got it and I never had a leak when it was up.
