Just idle thoughts...(no pun intended)
I was on the bike the other day, and just missed a signal cycle. This signal takes over 7 minutes to cycle. While I was sitting there debating weather I should kill the bike, or just idle it out, I started noticing that my legs were getting HOT.
By the time I took off from the light, I was wondering if there was a optimal rpm/speed to cool the engine down back to 'normal' temperatures. a combination of rpm and speed that wouldn't produce more heat, while going fast enough to keep good air flow over the motor.
Does anyone else here do such a thing, or think about it for that matter?

I got a real job to avoid that last part...
Oh and a RSS!
Ha,ha ......... thats not right.
All I do is make sure that I let the bike run at a low rpm, nothing over 3grand, for the last couple minutes and right before killing the bike I will let the bike idle for 10-15 seconds, then hit the kill switch.
Just my way of making sure it isn't to hot for the shut down or flooded out for the next start up.
Oh I do have a wrapped header so that helps with the heat too.
ride near the area where your torque is @ max...
your engine has less difficulty to pull you and your bike...for most, that would be around 3200rpm
