Parking light on M1100 EVO

[Pentacleus]

I'm curious how long I can leave my parking light on on my 2012 M1100 EVO.  I have replaced my tag light with LED's, so when I have the parking lights on, I have the parking light (LED's in the headlight cluster), break light (LED), and number plate (LED).

It would be nice to leave it on for an hour or longer while at bike night and know it will crank up ok.

It won't be a problem with a fresh battery.

If you need confirmation, check the battery voltage before and after a test in your garage

you switched out the parking light with an LED? what's the Watt rating on it?
The rear lights are LEDs, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's set up for low draw. you'll have to check.
the number plate you switched out?

plus if you're talking about putting it to the parking past not sure anything stays on except the front parking.
if you're talking about others, there's a lot more than just the lights on. I think the fuel pump fires up, etc.

i have a similar set up, LED for taillight/license plate, and an LED for the parking lamp.

I've left them on all day at work and started up fine on a fresh battery.  An hour at bike night should be fine.  I try not to leave it on for long.


On the other side, my pops left his on on his ST at work and he came out to a dead bike.
