I pulled the skid, tipped it to the clutch side but gas came pouring out of what I assume was the gas tank overflow line....Am I ok in tipping it to the MAG side to reinstall the rear skid, or will that cause any problems? Sorry for the stupid questions, this is my first yammy.

You can flip it up on either side. Sometimes they are a beast to start after flipping them up because the floats move around and flood it.
Yeah, shouldn't matter, you probably just got a little fuel out of one of the carb vents.

I believe the tank is also vented up the handlebars

Huh, I was always told to only flip it onto it's left side. Always keep the oil tank on top. I don't know if this really true or not. Can anyone shed some more light on this?
I don't know man, I've done it plenty of times putting skids back in and haven't had a problem. 
Thanks all for the info- I think I have the rail bent back somewhat so it's rideable for the time being....Anyone got any tips for getting the suspension back in easily?

Have a look in the tech tips in www.totallyamaha.com. loosen up the transfer rods before putting it back sometimes helps
