Now that summer is getting here, I start to feel how my 96 NH 750 get much hotter, specially when I stop in a traffic light after driving for a while. Since it is air cooled I always worry when if I get stuck on traffic, for example. I'm wondering if it is convenient (or correct) to shut down the engine while, lets say, I wait for the traffic to move. Or it would be better just to leave it running?
