Just keep in mind that most motorcycles use engine oil pump pressure to lube the transmission bearings so it is theoretically possible to lock up a bearing while engine off coasting. I know one guy locked his Ninja transmission by hitting the kill switch so they could talk, and coasting down during a dyno run. EOC is probably just as well left to competition only.
