    If the bike is on the side stand it will run out of the airbox. If it is on the center stand it will run into the engine. No 2x4 needed or anything else.
    Best to shut the gas off and check the octy for correct operation, so there is no worry.

      I don't get blued pipes, even though I removed bluing from the pipes when I bought them. I shut the key off when I hear the engine start to react to the low gas.
