Oh well, it's not like it will actually hurt the engine, though.

Thumbing the starter will have the engine spin over too fast and blow most of the oil out the spark plug hole.

What if you replaced the plug but didn't hook the cable back up?

Well, even then unless the tank was empty you'd be putting fuel through the engine, which I could see gumming up over the winter.

Yea, I'll probably just turn the wheel by hand whenever I winterize my next bike.

Yes, a good alternative.
A much BETTER alternative, however, is not to f*** with it in the first place! :skull:
