Thanks everyone for all of the useful information. There's a lot here of which some I've found myself.
The upshot is that the battery is toast. ST Guy called it in an earlier post. That battery will not charge because it's been fully discharged. Current voltage, off the bike, is 9.8V! As you'll see from VAR's post with Shorai's table is that the battery shouldn't be discharged below 12.9V. So, lesson(s) learned and a new battery will be bought.
It's likely that I didn't notice the effects of the parasitic draw on my bike beacause I ride pretty much everyday. I'll try to isolate what is causing the problem using the tips in this thread. I should also check the charging system just to be sure that the battery was getting the full charge. Electrical gremlins are not my favourite!
