The bike shuts off after an hour of inactivity, so you'd have to check on it every 59 minutes by engaging the kill switch and blipping the throttle. The bike won't do anything but it resets the 1 hour timer.

I don't recall what the kill switch does for the reset or not, but keeping the throttle open a bit was enough to defeat the timer (for 2016 DSR). The kickstand was down and interlock stock not modified so I would guess the kill switch being in disable position adds another bit of peace-of-mind if you are going to strap the throttle open a bit. I used a bit of velcro like one does to engage the front brake as a parking brake and just had the throttle open a bit in that configuration. Same caveat applies make sure the headlight gets additional cooling it tends to heat up enough not in motion to soften and deform the optical plastics.

Yeah, that saved my FX a few times when I forgot to turn off the key. When I came back, the lights were off and all the display segments were flashing.
