I just bought an 08 KFX 450 and was wondering if anyone has any advise on transporting the quad standing upright? This is my first fuel injected bike and want to know if there are any problems with transporting it on the tail end....thanks

I think the main issue will be oil leaking into the air filter box.. There's been a few people that stood the quad up and had the oil run into the box...

I thought it was interesting that when I first got the KFX the manual says not to stand it on end. Yet you look at a manual from our Z400 and standing on end is one of the recommended methods for transport.

I think like mentioned above the oil leaking has been an issue others have found when transporting it upright.

ive done it w/ my 400ex not w/ the kawi yet!but it was only a 20minute ride!best thing is try and get a trailer or pickup if your going far so the quad can stay on all 4's!

I agree when you stand up the bike for more than a hour the oil will run out uf the crankcase breather and it to the air box been their.
