Can I turn on my bike?

[uclabiker06]

My bike is hanging from the rafters with the front end (including handlebar) apart,  but it will be a bit of time before I get the front end and the handlebar back on.  With all the stuff removed from the handlebar would it be okay for me to fire her up just to get some fuel stabilizer treated fuel in the throttle bodies?  I poured some fuel stabilizer in the tank before I took the front end apart but I didn't run the bike.  I am worried that the untreated fuel in the throttle bodies will gum up in the next couple weeks.  Is this a valid concern??

If you're planning on riding it to get the fuel out of it in a few weeks it shouldn't be a problem. If it was a few months it would be a different story.

Its been sitting for about five weeks and I imagine I won't get the new handlebar installed for another couple of weeks.

on my carbie i use to pour shit right down the throttle bodies via airbox. Not sure if that's okay for Injected bikes though.

As long as there are no loose hot wires, fire it up if you want.

Okay, then.   Thanks.  I disconnected the instrument cluster so I'll connect it and then I'll give it a shot.  Mainly I was just wondering if there were any sensors that would not allow the bike to turn on,  but I guess the best way to find that out is to try to turn it on.
