is it this easy to keep a XLT 800 from freezing?

[supercab78]

I just went to Kentucky to buy a 2003 Yamaha XLT 800. Before I agreed to buy it I had the owner run the engine with water hooked up and then I ran a compression check on it. I have it at home now (Ohio), still cold so I read the owners manual about cold weather storage. All it says is that after you run it with a flushing hose hooked up, you then turn the water off then start the engine and rev it a few times - 10 to 15 seconds- and that this removes enough water. Is it really that easy to protect it from freezing? On my old one I remove a hose and pour some antifreeze in it to be extra safe. I don't see a way to do it with this newer one yet.

locate the hose that goes from the pump to the head remove the hose at the head and attach a hose with a funnel then re attach the hose after you pour some antifreeze in it ,go to reply no 13 in this post http://www.pwcweekly.com/forum/index.php?topic=206.0;viewResults
