Jump Starting
A stupid question but I'm no sparky. Is it possible to jump start a 12v bike with a 12v car battery? Or are the amps? Too much?

Yes it works great (as long as you haven't turned the fuel off . The bike only draws the current it needs.
It's easier than running up and down the road too.

And now, Harry, let us step out into the night and pursue that flighty temptress, adventure.

Used my Harley to start the wife's Mini. Caused £1,300 to the wife's Mini. The Harley was fine. I put it down to jet lag having just suffered 2 back to back 12 hour flights.
