I believe that Motion Pro also makes a tool that is basically what you describe. A ~1 liter bottle that you fill with gas and hang up somewhere to get the engine running without the fuel tank in the way. It's meant to be used for syncing carbs and such.

You can also just use a really long hose and put the actual fuel tank on a table or something next to the bike, which has the advantage of costing almost nothing, vs like $100 for the fancy Motion Pro bottle.
