Jumper bypassing the regulator; Do you mean disconnect the blue wire from the VR and disconnect the green wire from the VR and jump them together?
You can do that, I have a piece of wire with alligator clips on each end and use it.
This will only be there for a few seconds, you could even use a piece of solid core wire with no clips just poke in between the connector and the reg housing. Again just a few second to see the voltage change.
