I've got into the habit especially with a pillion of hitting the kill switch at long red lights (data-tool alarm means i have to turn it back on electrics but not hitting start immediately -- to stop the alarm arming after 30 seconds) . I do this for heat and noise, it is just nicer to sit there in silence and with a cool breeze.

But I'm wondering if this is doing nasty things to the engine. It always starts instantly. But maybe heat soak is doing something bad? Although I'm this is typically at 5-8 bars of heat showing on the temp reading, not more..
