The tube should be good for a couple more tire replacements providing it is not damaged and you haven't had to patch it a number of time.
Use the tube but replace or carry a spare valve core. I had one go bad on my Vstrom and all that held in the air was the valve cap. It slowly went flat overnight so it was no biggy to replace the core and pump it up.
Oh oh oh, don't do what I did one day in my zeal for perfection. I over tightened the nut that holds the valve stem in place. I tore the valve stem away from the tube.............big time air leak. Luck was with me that day. We were out on our dirt bikes and went back to the parking area for a cool drink. Bike was parked beside the trailer when we heard a significant but short Hssssssssssssssssssssssss. I read a book while the rest of the group rode their brains out till dusk.
