Nope, not necessary. As far as what its for is open for debate. I've heard it called a map light, parking light...just kinda makes you more visible.

It is identified as a "Position Light" in the service manual. This bulb remains illuminated at all times when the ignition switch is in the "on" position.

Makes no difference to us riders here in the USA. However, Hawk/Storm riders in other parts of the world can turn-off the headlight (different switchgear) when running, so the Position Light would remain "on" whether or not the main headlight is "on" or "off".
