How do I get to the intakes on a 2005 Monster 620 (another novice question)?
There's some good info here....

You need to do both cylinders.

The tender will be fine.

If spraying the fogging oil through the throttle bodies you will need two cans (one for each) if equipped set the idle slightly high to ensure that you are really able to get it smoking before killing it.

I spray alternately into each bellmouth and it seemed to work fine.

Like I've said in the other thread I got lazy for a while.

There are only two reasons for fogging to hurt fuel injectors:
   1.  Go apeshit with the stuff.
   2.  Blame fogging, but the problem was something else, like misuse of fuel stabilizer.

You can often get away without fogging, but why would you take the risk?  A little work and money verses a lot of work and money?  No brainer to me.

Why would fogging hurt fuel injectors?

The fog spray is delivered through the intake tract, not the fuel system?

What am I missing?

thanks for all the advice guys, i fully winterized my bike this weekend

filled the tank and added stabilizer, fogged the cylinders by spraying into the intakes, cleaned and lubed the chain and put it on the battery tender. hopefully i'm good to go.

the bad thing is that i found a nail on my tire and i'll need to replace it befer riding season comes :(

Relax!  Now you have all winter to fix it!

Nice job on getting your winterizing done right.
