Why?

I may be wrong, but believe the comment about plugs was related to carbs in that keeping the bike level may reduce the chance of the #1 and/or #2 spark plugs from fouling from too much fuel if the bike is left on the side stand when there is a problem with the float valves and/or petcock. The theory being that the overflow fuel will end up in cylinders 1 & 2 since they are on the low side if the bike is on the side stand. Ed
