[QUOTE="TomInPA, post: 1204103, member: 21394"] We have liquid cooled engines, and they will do their job better, and you will be safer if you just leave it running. When I rode a V Twin air-cooled bike, switching off the engine made some sense on triple digit days. I have noticed with the FJR, that switching off, actually causes engine heat to rise, and when I go to turn it back on, the cooling fans will sometimes come on, even if they were not running before being switched off. Add the safety aspect of not operating the engine in traffic, and I think this is a generally bad idea unless you know you're going to be stuck for a while...trains, highway closures, etc. [/QUOTE]
