The engine is definitely making a noise.
I have an alarm system and when the switch is turned off and on I have to disengage it again.
The kill switch doesn't turn the alarm on but it also doesn't disable the motor.

I'd really like to know if it is causing any damage.
I know the manual says that damage could occur if I hold the bike up a hill by giving it a bit of throttle. I assume this could overheat the engine?
Could be unrelated to reversing without running current to the engine.

No, there's no damage from what you're doing. It really sounds like the damage is just the potential of the bike getting out of control.

Yes, holding the bike uphill with the throttle heats up the motor without any cooling. It's unrelated, because it's the current that heats up the motor.
