Yes.. other than seeing what you're putting out.. I've never seen the reason for it

Well, it's good to know what voltage your p500 gives with all accessories u have on. If u turn all your lights, audio and etc ,and let's say it shows below 12 volts or so , then your engine and gear shifting will suffer electricity shortage/deficiency and will malfunction. Like u have low battery all the time while riding. It's a good indicator of your electric system health , and u can read directly off the voltmeter .

I'm not and electrician , can't say it more technical. Hope it helps.

One more thing it will show u battery health/charge too .

Like a gas gauge, nice to know when you're low on fuel too.
