All of the above zirconxi, the main concern storing an engine are the piston rings, cylinder, valves and seats corroding with a high moisture content, running without a load and a cooler engine frequently will cause soot and carbon buildup over time and although the exhaust is stainless you still don't want condensate to build up in there.
And every time the engine shuts off and cools down the air volume reduces and lets some fresh air in the system
Running for five minutes when the moisture content in the air is low once every three weeks or so should be sufficient to keep the valves/ seats and piston rings in good shape and a plastic bread bag covering the cold exhaust would help.
A short ride to a petrol station is an even better idea, in nz you can get groceries and petrol locally, maybe you are out of toothpaste one day.......
For the disks put some plastic shopping bags around them to stop the moist air condensating on the surfaces and definetly a cover over the whole bike, i have some large furniture plastic bags that keep the dust off mine, maybe post a picture of where and how the bike is stored?
