First post! I thought one of the bulbs in the tach was out so i went to change it and there was no bulb in the socket. I put one in. About a month ago went on a ride tach started smoking! I killed the bike right away. Turns out there was a bulb lost in it and shorted out the tach board. The three tach wires were melted together(o,bk,p). After looking the bike over for the last month i have to replace the ecm. Money is tight so i want to make sure i get the right ecm.

Are you sure the ecm is lost!?
Check the fuses and circuit breaker , maybe try with the instruments disconnected.

I think so. Buddy has m2's i tried his bank angle, the coil tested bad found a used one. Checked wiring harness, clutch,side stand,n safety all grounded for testing Only thing i didn't test is speed, cmp sensors.

You need to check your Voltage Regulator and stator for proper operation.

I misread your post. Bulb bouncing around loose shorted tach board. You took bike to someone and had it tested and they found a bad ECM, right?
