Cycle up to operating temp 3 times (start bike, get to op temp, turn off = 1 cycle), it should come out of "limp home mode". Light'll go off after that.

You might want to find out why the light is on... Any OBD-II reader can get the code for you, & if you're going to tweak stuff a TuneBoy will read codes and allow you to set lots of different parameters.

Just because light is on does not necessarily mean it is in limp-home mode. It just means that a sensor has detected a fault & has registered on the ECM which trips the MIL light. It will only be in limp-home mode if the fault is still present, Indeed in this case since it runs fine after replacing the battery, it evidently isn't in limp-home mode, therefor the fault that set the lamp initially is not currently present.

Your MIL could be associated with a number of things - a low battery voltage for example (which it clearly had since it was changed out)

Yes, if you do three complete warm-up/cool down cycles the lamp should go out - provided the original fault is no longer active.
The fault code will remain stored for 40 complete warm-up cycles however to allow you to retrieve them later if you require. The fault codes can be retrieved by your dealer.

p.s. Be sure to check out the Speed Triple Forum in the Sports & Touring Section. You'll find lots more info about your T509 as well as other Speedy models.
