Jus wondering....Who parks their scoot in neutral?
I ALWAYS do. \\; I really don't like the idea of "stress" on my engine. \\; \\; Just something my uncle taught me long ago. \\; Along with using your front brake when going downhill on a dirtbike. \\;

I don't park mine in neutral but do put it into neutral before starting it. \\; I try not to use the brakes too much when going down a steep grade and use engine braking instead.

The only time I leave my bike in gear is if I leave it unattended for a while (which rarely happens). Then I will also lock the ignition and bars. Here in Germany Harley's have been known to disappear and end up in the chzech republic.

I always leave my bikes in gear when parked.
 \\;
Come to think of it, I also leave my manual transmission cars and trucks in gear when parked as well. \\;
 \\;
Doubt if it puts the engines under that much 'stress'. \\;
