    Your lights will be dim without it/might not work properly.

    yes, you will risk damaging the voltage regulator on your bike- the battery acts as a 'smoothing capacitor' and must be there even if it is flat ! without it the regulator cannot control the voltage properly and is likely to overheat- you will probably get away with it for a while but it's not a good idea !

    Might also be funny if you stalled.
