I took a chance, and it's fine! The way I've got it wired now, if the ignition is on, the low beam is on. But apart from a GPS, I don't run any other electrical accessories and the bike starts pretty much instantly anyway. I guess if I had heated grips or bike-powered heated jacket, or if it needed to crank over lots of times before firing, this could be an issue.
