Hit the kill switch and usually in neutral as I back it into a spot. All on level ground, but if parking on a slope, I leave it in first. My other answer would say that I kill the bike with the tilt switch when I dump it, but that would make it sound as if I crashed allot......just joking..

Always turn key. I can never remember to hit run/stop switch again when turning it on.
Then i crank it until it runs out of battery and blame the voltage rectifier. Yeah.... i'm hardcore.

I stop a little differently. When coming to a stop pull in clutch and cover rear brake. After stopped apply rear brake hard and release clutch. If the rear brakes applied the motorcycle will stop without lurching foward. If the rear brake is not applied with some decent pressure then the motorcycle will jump foward.
I don't believe that this is harmfully for the engine. If after a year and three months of stopping this way on an 06 Harley I know a Honda would be just fine lol. I always leave the motorcycle in first.

I TRY TO HAVE FUN WIT IT BY ROLLIN IN FIRST WIT THE CLUTCHED PULLED IN, PUT THE KICKSTAND DOWN WHILE ROLLING AND COME TO A STOP WIT THE FRONT BRAKE THEN TRY AND LAND ON THE KICKSTAND WITOUT USING MY FEET AND JUMP OFF. BUTALOTTA TIMES ILL JUST BE ROLLING AND TURN THE KEY THEN FINALLY COME TO A STOP. ALSO ITS FUNNY WHEN U RUN INTO SEMI NEW RIDERS AND TURN THE KILLSWITCH OFF AND THEY CANT FIGURE OUT WHY THERE BIKE WONT START!
I DONT KNOW IF ITS JUST ME BUT ITS FUNNY TO BE RIDIN AND COME UP BESIDES SOMEBODY AND HIT THERE KILLSWITCH, OR BE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND SNEAK UP BEHIND A FRIEND AND PUSH HIS KICKSTAND DOWN FAR ENOUGH TO SET HIS KICKSTAND SENSOR OFF!
