I'm a new rider so I don't know if it's a common thing but I've been caught a couple times trying to put her in first gear with the stand down and the engine shuts off. Thank you Yamaha for protecting morons like me

Most, but not all bikes have that safety feature. I bought a new Roughhouse scooter that would run with the side stand down. Apparently it is not a law in the US that the engine stop with the kickstand down and the bike in gear. Sure is a good safety feature though.

I've watched Harley guys ride away with a sidestand down. Probably not going to be a happy ending on the first left hander.

It got me the first time I fueled up. I was using a conserve the motion click first and swoop the stand up took me twice to figure it out lol.

I use it to shut my bike off most of the time. It's a bad habit though, because there have been times when I then forget to turn the key off.
