I'm not sure this is a problem outside of the UK/Europe. Unless someone knows different, I've not heard of this problem in SA.
I thought the same when I read the post, but I'm not 100% sure it is the 'usual' problem. I would certainly take the plug apart and take a look, also check out the resistance over the rectifier terminals at the same time (the details of how/what to expect are in the workshop manual) to see if the reg/rec is working properly ,this I would expect the dealer to check though, batteries go dead at times, but on a running bike, either the battery is faulty, or the charging circuit is (or you are using more power than the bike is delivering). If you charge the battery it presumes that you think the problem is in the charging, if you thought it was the battery, you'd replace it.
