Thanks for the info. I learned about the parking light, yes, but I don't think that's it because I immediately turned it off that one night I noticed it, and I've checked my lights every time since then, and have had no problems until now. I'll take a look at the cables this evening, as you suggested. I've also heard that it could be because I got my battery (new) from an auto parts store instead of a motorcycle store, although 2 months still seems like a very short life to me no matter where the battery came from.
