[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1204130, member: 19880"] No point in leaving it on until the fans quit. You are just cooling fluid in the radiator; not the engine. There is no circulation without the engine (and water pump) running. I shut mine off if there is likely to be a long(er) delay due to construction or at a border crossing. I use the key so the headlights get killed too but often just cycle the key so I can hit the starter and go when its time - don't want to fumble with key. AS others have said, it isn't going to hurt the engine or have a big effect on fuel consumption but there is overheating of the rider and possible depletion of the battery if you have non-standard electrical loads.
