I just installed a Drummer, but my ECM is still out being remapped at American Sport Bike. When I turn the key, power is obviously still supplied to the bike, so can I start it with no ECM...for just a second to hear it...please!?? For the record, I'm fairly certain that isn't a good idea, but I'm seeking other opinions. Criticizing my ignorance is also forgivable in this case, so have at it. Thanks for any input.

I could be wrong, but I believe you won't be able to start it. It will turn over from the starter, but that's it.

Without an ECM your fuel injectors won't fire. The engine may spin, but it won't even attempt to start.

Fair enough. Thanks for the quick responses.

clamp a playing card to the rear so it hits the spokes when you rotate the wheel. No, wait... that wont work either, no spokes.
