Polaris had a pretty decent little Youtube video last year, showing summerization stuff. I just searched for it last year and found it.
This is what I do:
Fuel Stabilizer in the tank, full tank of fuel. (It's better to add stabilizer to an empty tank then fill it up so it mixes properly)
Start the engine and let it run for a while to get the stabilized fuel to run through the system.
Take out the plugs and give it a good fogging with the spray.
You can put the plugs back in (don't put on the caps) or tape up the holes. Give the engine a few pulls just to make sure the fogging oil fully coats the cylinders.
Put the plugs back together and let it be.
I put steel wool in my exhaust to prevent any critters from making a nice home in my exhaust system.
Grease any grease points, and put it away clean and dry to prevent any corrosion.
I put a note on the dash with everything that I have done (so I don't forget anything come next season, like taking the steel wool out of the pipe), cover it and put her to bed for the summer.
