Laying a bike down on the floor?
if a bike was all stripped down of fairings, tank, battery and lights,and oil drained, would it be ok to lay the bike over on its side for a couple of days while front and rear suspension was removed? i can understand that leaving oil in the bike could cause oil to go places it shouldnt, but how about when empty?
yes i know its not the ideal thing to do and im sure most of you would never dream of such things, but its an option i am considering. bike would be laid on tyres and quilt covers |

Re: laying bikes down
Davepreston lays bikes down all the time.
Usually while all the fairings and himself are still attached

Just watch for brake fluid going where you don't want it.
