Okay....I hate to add to this thread, but I feel I have some actual help...
I turn my bike off with the kill switch or kickstand (and glide in and drop it on the stand...)
I do this because I live where temps are over 100*F for a lot of the summer, so I want to give the engine a chance to cool down with the fan. If I turn off the bike with the key, this doesn't let the fan stay on (as far as I can tell.)
Then if it's really hot, I start it again and let it cool down with the coolant running through the engine. Then turn it off with the key
If I just turn it off with the key to start with, I wouldn't have know that it needed to cool down.
