Even if the problem persists you've only spent fifty quid or so, it's taken summit else out of the problem equation, and for the cost of two or three tankful so of fuel you aint gotta worry about your battery again for a couple years at least ;-)
Agree. My bike wasn't used for a couple of months over the winter. Came out to start it, battery didn't even have enough power to light the dash lights. Charged it, went up to about 12.9v, so went out for a couple of rides. Left it for a week, and found not enough to start the bike again. Charged it, fine again. For my last couple of rides, I've boosted it overnight beforehand and it has been ok, but have just bought a new one, as I don't fancy having problems when I'm away on tour.
