New Engine Winiterizing?

[Indyxc]

Picked up a new 09 Superjet, just removed from the crate.

I told the dealer not to put gas in it, as I won't be riding it this year. On the way home I thought about winterizing it, specifically fogging the cylinders.

I'm guessing Yamaha sprays the inside of the engines before shipping, as these things can sit at dealer forever. Or should I just attach the battery, crank it over (no gas), and fog the cylinders and crankcase through the carbs to safe?

What do you guys think? My only hesitation is putting fogging oil in a engine that is not broken in.

I am sure that others will correct me if I am wrong... But if it has never been run... Then I would just let it be as is... I am assuming Yamaha like Seadoo ships the engine already fogged from the factory after they test run the engine. Since it has never had water in it you should be good there...

If you do fog it I would fog the cylinders from the spark plug holes and crank it a few times... Fogging it through the airbox without it running will just fog the carbs / air box...

I'm not sure how applicable this is, but in 2003 I had my motor bored and reassembled and left it sitting in my garage in south Florida (high humidity) then moved to Canada where it sat in an unheated garage for 5 years (-20 degrees in the winter, +75 in summer). I pulled it apart this spring and since it had never been started since it was bored, I expected to find it bright orange with rust. But it was still in perfect condition. If it were me, I would not fog the motor.

It wont hurt to fog that thing you want too.
