Can I jump my motorcycle battery with my car? :stupidsign:

Yes, but I wouldn't do it.

Slow charge it back to life, instead. Ideally, a trickle charge for the next 24hrs ought to bring it back to 100%.

A boost is good if you need the power now, but hard on the battery & charging system to replenish a dead battery.

I would say go ahead but with 2 cautions.

Don't have the engine running on the car and as soon as the bike runs, disconect from the car.

I would strongly suggest staying away from the car thing.
A battery charger is by far the safer way to go.
The load of bringing up a deeply discharged battery can easily smoke your regulator.
