Do not have the car running when jumping a motorcycle.It puts out too many amps.technically you're not suppose to even jump a bike with a car.


AMPS=VOLTAGExRESISTANCE
In my expirience, and I am an electrical tech here at work, AMPS is only going to be the amount that the load(your starter) is pulling. Hence, a car battery is CAPABLE of producing more amps but it will not "force feed" your system. Now, if you used a 6 volt or 24 volt battery, you would have problems. But our bike uses a 12 Volt system just like a car. No problems there. Didn't mean to jump your case, but I wanted to clarify.

Max the old auto shop teacher agrees, unless you do not observe correct polarity, using a larger battery than normal won't hurt anything as long as the voltage is =. We've used D-8 group batteries( think CAT engines some were 1800 CCA, our Savage battery is about 160 and the AGM are rated at 190 CCA) for years on a hand truck to jump start vehicles below 0 in the instructional parking area. Once they came up with those nifty booster pacs, life in the winter was much easier. No 12 V to 6V systems or 24 V trucks or equipment to 12 V stuff. An be cautious around pre 55 Domestic cars with positive ground and English cars for a few years after that. Max
