I would agree that it probably does more harm than good to run it- it will not get hot enough to burn off condensation in the motor, and when it cools down you will introduce more.

My Triumph stays in the garage for about 3 months over the winter. All I do is use a normal battery charger set to trickle once every couple of weeks or so. I also turn the fuel tap on for a few seconds to make sure the carbs don't dry out. I suppose it would probably be easier to drain the carbs but I can usually get a couple of good rides in over winter.

You should be able to recharge your battery, it's worth a shot anyway.
