Hi all,
wonder if anyone can tell me what the do and don'ts are for putting my px on its side please?
fuel off i guess ,panels too? anything else?
if i get a mate to hold and tilt is this do-able?
any tips at all or what to avoid?
I don't have an old mattress or anything to use but can maybe tilt onto grass in garden
Thanks very much

Panels off.
Fuel tap off.
Lean over engine side.
Carefully lower to the floor.
I used to lay on my scoot jacket to save the engine.
Or, stick this number into eBay: 131967968854
Dependant what job you are doing, these are pretty helpful.

One tip I was given was to place a plastic bag over the mouth of the fuel tank, then pop the fuel cap back on. Hasn't failed yet.
I use an old sleeping bag inside a bin liner to rest the scoot on when I'm taking wheels off etc, I'm guessing it would give you the access you need
