Default Fogging Oil
After spraying fogging oil in each cylinder they suggest turning the bike over a few times.What is the best way to do this without firing the bike up. Is it ok to just remove the spark plug wires and ground them on the heads. Thanks for the suggestions.

If th bike is on a lift, put it in 2nd or 3rd gear, and spin the rear wheel a few times.

Either that, or with the plugs out, just put the bike in fifth and roll it around the garage.
