This is not always the case. When a rear tire is no longer in contact with something that offers resistance, the wheel may freely spin when the bike is laying on it's side with the clutch engaged. See it often enough at the track, bikes running while down. Since the ninja is not equipped with a "tip over" safety switch, then all bets are off and purely situational. :\
