Charging the battery from a running car is dangerous. Usually nothing will happen, but that cant be considered proof of safety of the procedure. It is dangerous.

why don't you just push start it and let it run for a bit or take it for a ride and charge up your battery?
as a newbie... I think he would have a hard time running next to the bike (if he's not downhill) and balancing the bike up.

don't forget that it's cold out and there's ice on the ground! just asking for another drop.

car batteries may be 12V like bike batteries but have way more CCAs...though some have been ok jumping with car batteries...i personally would never do it. aside from blowing all your fuses...it could also fry the ECU and other vital parts of the bike.

True, I didn't necessarily mean to run next to it and jump on and etc. The last time I had to do this, I had my 9 yr old push me from insidethe garage down the driveway and then popped the clutch down the street. I'm just sayin, a lot easier than undoing bolts and taking battery outand etc etc.

I used to work at a dealership and saw all kinds of electrical problems from people jumping bikes with their car. I'd recommend against it.
