Should the headlamp for my 02 Kawasaki Ninja 500 turn on without starting the bike?

I recently bought the bike, and after a few weeks the battery went dead on me. I push started it a couple times, but eventually even that didn't work so well. I replaced the battery (old one was indeed dead), and it starts and runs fine now. But I noticed the headlamp doesn't come on when I turn the key. Just after I start the bike. I know this is a feature on later models, but is this normal for an '02 or possible an indicator of a bigger problem?
Thanks!
