I have an '01 Honda Rubicon. We need to get two ATVs in the back end of my trailer and about the only way to make them fit is to stand the two of them side by side on their ass end. The other ATV is my buddies Yamaha (I think).

Anybody see any issues with this? Not concerned with the ability to tie them down, more concerned about what might happen to the fluids in the machines.

Thanks.

i see it done all the time but have been told in the past it is bad to do. i want to know also.

x3 I was figuring on draining the fuel tanks, at least so they wouldn't seep out around the fill cap.

Got onto the Honda ATV forum and asked about this. Got a mixed bag of answers. Some say no problem and others are skeptical. I may just drain the fuel and oil and then load. Hate to do this, but I would hate to drag two ATVs out to KOH and have two dead machines.

My main issue with my Rubicon is the fact that it takes over 5 quarts of oil. The oil is used in the motor AND transmission, could get VERY messy if all that oil found its way out of a breather.:laughing::(

i've done it numerous times on some older machines, never a problem.

havent tried it out on the newer atv's as their sooo damn heavy you cant even think of putting it upright.
