Answer:
Nope. Both are 12 volts. Volts is pressure. Electrical pressure. Amps is the number of electrons. It's the actuall electricity. The current. Current is ENTIRELY determined by the voltage and the resisitance. Both of these values are fixed. The voltage of the car battery is always 12 volts. The resistance of the motorcycle battery is always what it is. The current will stay within operating parameters.

you could fry your starter and or your starter relay as the CCA ( cold cranking amps ) of your car battery are way higher than those of a motorcycle battery. If you are away from home and in need of one, you gotta do what you gotta do. the bike will have to have a 12 volt system as will the car, they all do except maybe an electric car, but don't have the car running when doing it. I would suggest that you purchase a new battery, MF, gel, or AGM. Avoid lead acid if possible ( my personal preference though they are cheaper ), charge it till it's fully charged, clean your pos and neg battery cables where the will contact the battery posts and install the new battery. Use dielectric grease around the connection points to help prevent corrosion.
Hmm funny answers.. I jumped off my honda twice, and had to replace the regulator/rectifier($140×2) both times.. Finally got smart and got a battery tender jr. ($40). First time I jumped it off , car was running, next time car was NOT running.. I wouldnt jump of any of my bikes from a car again..
I've done this many times with my CBR600 after leaving it laid up too long.
Never damaged the bike, never damaged the car.
And I always had the car engine running, that never caused problems either.
If both are 12V batteries. DO NOT start the car engine.
Yes, no problem
Do it. You'll be fine. Is not different voltage. Both systems are 12 volt.
Different voltages, would probably damage the motorcycle battery
But depends on the battery in the bike
