Binge laid his YZF450 down and fuel came out for a few seconds... but AFAIK you'll be fine.

i would stand it upside down on its handle bars and seat like a push bike

Carb overflow would be the first to go but if youve drained it, as you say, then cant see a problem.

Not sure why youd need to lay it on the side though? No stands?

125 shouldnt be too heavy to get it lifted somehow

[Snorty]

Make sure you don't interrupt the 2T premix system if you've not drained it, otherwise that won't be much fun when you get an air bubble.

Last post, very good thought, gonna get some car ramps or something, failing that .. i've got some slabs in the garden ..

Bad idea really, gonna have it on a few slabs and then lent against a wall, job done.

Battery probably won't like being the wrong way round much either.

if there's no fuel in then that will be ok.

You'll need to take the battery out though.

No fuel, or batterry, carb off, no exhasut, all fairings.

As long as i'm not gonna mess anything up, i shall do it ... the 2t oil mixer tank is full as is the rad and transmission oil.

Would like the ok to do it, as it will be so much easier, esp considering i'm rotund.

The 2 stroke oil tank will have a breather as well to avoid a vacumb forming so that will have to be emptied...
I would recomend draining it, the lines and oil pump as well so as not to create a huge mess, the oil in the gearbox shouldnt go anywhere though.
Once you get it upright, push 2 stroke oil through the lines with a syringe and make the first tank of fuel around 1/4 with a little 2 stroke oil in with the fuel (better to have to much than to little). Keep an eye on the 2 stroke in the oil tank to be sure its getting through.

Best regards

If i rest it on the crash bungs on elevated slabs, it should be fine at around a 45 degree angle
