So the automatic shutdown feature after idling for a while, what's that for?

Not riding for a while, but when stopped and not touching the throttle, just letting it idle, looks like after 4 or 5 minutes, it will shut itself off.

Not sure about the Ryker but the same engine in the snowmobiles has this feature as well. 2 reasons, more environmentally friendly and prevents overheating. The largest issue in the snowmobile being overheating. Sleds are cooled by snow hitting the heat exchangers in the tunnel. If your idling and not moving no snow is hitting the exchangers so the engine will overheat if it idles too long without movement through the snow.
