To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Just checking, don't laugh at me! I did mean jump start by the way not put it in. Is the current in a car battery the same as a motorbike then?

Yeah, what Boob said - with you..
Yes it is, but don't use a truck to jumpstart it.

Thanks guys, you rock and have enlightened me muchly

C'mon lets ride....
How did the bike battery get flat?
Could be time to get a new one. Running a m/c with a tired battery can cause other issues with the charging system because the extra load it puts on it.
Basicly what I'm saying is its false economy jump starting all the time.
Double shot!!
Yes.

A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

as long as its 12volts [which it is] you definatly can

Double shot!!
haha, no fortunately. But I know enough to be able to predict what a tiny bike battery will do if you stick 24V up it.
bike batt 12V + car batt 12V = 24V
Internal resistance of fully charged car batt = tending to zero
Internal resistance of flat bike batt, a few tenths of an ohm.
P=V^2/R
P=24^2/0.02
P=28,800 watts.
Yep, 28 KILOWATTS dissapated in that tiny clear plastic bike battery! RUN!
Even if my maths is off by a factor of ten, its still pretty dangerous.
