In any event, now that I know it's there, it's not a problem anymore.

To be fair, leaving the parking lights on is NOTHING compared to the power-sucking headlight. I left the bike on for about an hour when I cleaned my chain for the first time and had to charge the battery with a charging unit. In comparison, I accidentally left the parking lights on for about 6 hours one day before I realized what I had done. Put the key in and it started right up. I make sure to double check whenever I park my bike now.
