btw, an analogy of the question your asking is, if i turn my light switch on, with no light bulb in the socket, am i using any electricity? or wen i screw in a light bulb with the switch off, am i still using any electricity? :P just wanted to re-iterate that :P unless there is more information you are withholding :P

Sounds like OP may just be wondering if there's any risk of draining the battery if he forgets to turn off lights, turn signals, etc after pulling the key out.
yeah this is pretty much it. and i was wondering if the other switches like engine kill switch and brake lights (ie: depressed brake) would actually continue to draw power after pulling the key out/ignition off.
gonna do more reading about parasitic drain, load test, charging system test and all that.
thanks for the replies.
If you want as a quick test:
Check the battery voltage at the terminals
Check it again with the key on
Check it again with the bike at idle
Check it again with the bike at 1/3 of it's redline RPM, with the highbeams on.
Report back numbers and we can go from there.
Devices that can cause parasitic drain are alarm systems, and those fake alarm flashing LED's, remote start, and if wired incorrectly HID headlight time delay relays, etc.

Two of my friends had it last year. Worked great, as soon as they started putting on their suit they'd hit the remote start and by the time they got outside the bike would be all warmed up
But, if they let their bike sit still for more than a week the battery would be dead. For most of the season they kept it plugged into a battery tender. This season, both of them didn't hook them up after taking it out of storage.
