My first M900 had the oil carb warmers and I found that they worked well against icing.
I got tuned into the conditions that caused the icing and learned to turn the warmers on before it happened.

I'm not sure how they attach to the carbs, but I would imagine they are banjos?
I think you should be able to run the bike with the banjos disconnected, provided you turn the warmers off at the diverter tap. The lever points down the pipe that flows, so you point the lever up the warmers towards the carbs to divert oil that way and down the line directly to cooler to send it that way.
The lines do tee together at the cooler, so you might get a bit of back flow from that direction if you run it with the connections off. Chances are it's going to be messy just taking them off so I guess you have to allow for that!!
