[QUOTE="penguin1300, post: 12690, member: 622"] I've shut the engine off in traffic jams before. Here's a trick I do. Put the bike in Neutral, kill the engine, turn the key off, turn the key back on and let the fan run. The purpose of turning the key off and then back on is to get the front headlights off. For background, the headlights do not come on when you turn the key on. It's not until you bump the starter that they come on. This way, you aren't draining the battery with both headlights and fan and leave you with a dead battery by the time the jam is over. Even though I have done this in the past, I don't think it helps much because there is so much heat already stored "under the hood" that you still end-up roasting yourself trying to pump that heat out. Personally, I got tired of bumping the starter again and nowadays just leave the sucker running. YMMV Of course, there is always the option of pulling some mad skillz with a wheelie down the double yellow while flickin' off all the cagers :lol: [/QUOTE]
