New bike transport question

[jordzan]

Gday

I just purchased an atomik reign bigfoot pitbike. I know it's not ideal but would it be ok to transport it from my place to my folks property on it's side in the back of my station wagon?? I would make sure the weights sitting on the metal frame not the bike.

Would rather put the van rental money towards getting a real clutch if it's possible
Cheers for any help fellas.

Forgot some engine info might be helpfull

ya it will be fine, just drain all the fuel out of your carby and tank so it wont leak(if its brand new and never had fuel in it before then it will be fine)

yeah you should have no dramas ....might be best to take the tank shrouds and maybe side covers off ... it'll only take a minute and save ya bending or scratching em on the trip .

and give it 10 mins standing upright b4 u start it to make sure all the oils where its supposed to be, and change your oil b4 you ride it too

Could possibly fit in upright if ya take off the wheels and drop the bars?
