Does riding with the highbeams on kill the battery? I always ride in the daytime with my highbeams on and after a long ride its like my battery is at 50 percent when I go to start the bike up. Or is my battery going bad?

I had this problem yesterday. I was in traffic and I got a call. Stopped and killed the engine and it didn't start again. I got a jump and it fired back up.

And I have a 2006 with 4000miles...
