Sometimes I see a red bar to indicate the enemy off radar. When does this happen_ Shooting, boosting, dodging,..._

Explain, I didn't get it. You mean when the enemy is outside of your radar range (the mini map)_ like when you see him as a bad and not a dot_
If that's the question then I suppose it's for the same other reasons and MOSTLY the radar scanner and the teammates' radars.

So basically everything you do will generate a radar signature. However that signature has different size on what exactly you are doing. Shooting will generate the most and repairing is a close second to last after walking.

Shooting, boosting, dodging or hovering will light you up on radar no matter what, radars have an immediate scan range and then a long-range scan indicated by the little white or red lines that circle around the outside of the radar.

Repairing does not cause you to appear on radar whatsoever, walking is only visible on radar when a target is within LOS.

Charging the EOC definitely does not. Not sure about Vulcan. So far as I know, you only show up on radar if you're generating heat, at least when it comes to weapon fire (huge exception for the Incin, which can create a signature while losing heat thanks to the SAARE). Does revving the Vulcan generate heat_

I do not believe revving does. Pretty sure you only show up once you fire.
To simplify, you generally only show up on radar under four circumstances:
1) If you are generating heat.
2) If you are spending fuel.
3) If you are within an enemy's cone of vision (regardless of being cloaked or not, in the case of Infiltrator and Predator).
4) If you are within the radius of an enemy Portable Scanner.

I like the strategy of it, new players just need to be made aware of it and need a resource that gives them the full rundown of abilities to manipulate it one way or the other.

It sounded like the OP may still be a little confused about regular walking within the minimap/radar of enemies. You will only show up when walking if you step directly into their line of sight (where your mech can be seen on their monitor).
And thanks to PoopSlinger for the heads up about the G2 Raider bug. I did not know that and it explains a lot.
