apart from a unsealed battery leaking everywhere yes.
if u have a sealed glass mat style bat then you will be fine otherwise take the battery out first and stand it up.,
make sure fuel levels are below half so it dosent come out the filler breather.

i should also add check your gearbox breather to make sure oil isnt coming out once the bike is vertical but i think you should be fine.

if you are going to leave it for a few days then get a hose crimp/clamp and clamp the crankcase breather closed as it comes from the back of the engine, if any longer I would drain the oil. Also drain the carb so that it doesn't leak fuel into the airfilter.
