You may not have to burn it up. Leave the spark plug out and fire it up. I think it might just 'pop' out. :-/
That was going to be my suggestion...except disconnect something to stop it firing, just turn it over on the starter for a few seconds..

You really need it to fire so that it gives the full OOMPH!!

Yep. Just not for too long long, DIS pack's are a bit fussy about misfires.

It is the size of a baked bean or two, so it's really not a lot. I would worry about it gumming up, but certainly not knackering the cat.

Is it likely to damage a piston ring?  :-/

Hi,
Try vacuuming it out.  If you can get a short length of 8 or 10 mm tube, even bit of thin wall electrical cable sleeving biggest you can get to go down spark plug hole, fix into the end of vacuum cleaner hose, and get seal with electrical or duck tape. "Wiggle" this around inside the cylinder.

I would have thought you would get enough of a vacuum for the piece of rubber, depending on size, to at least either get sucked out or at least get stuck over the end of the piece of tube so you could gently pull it out.

Failing that, I would go with the suggestion to leave plug out an start up when you can. I reckon it will take path  of least resistance and get blown out of the plug hole. If you don't put something over to catch it, I don't reckon you'll even see it go.

HTH

Is it really silicone rubber? Like bath sealant?

If not, it will burn up in to carbon and hydrogen.

If it is silicone rubber, it's melting point is much higher. Take the plug out, earth it on the block and give it 1,500 revs. It will blow out.

Your earthing needs to be good or you're in for a shock....
