Yes, but there are some important things to remember.
If you accidentally 'short' a battery (connect the neg side to the pos side) you will generate a very large electric current. This can cause a fire or even explode the battery. It will certainly melt the jump leads. You need to keep the un-insulated clips on both leads well apart.
So...
Lift bike seat (assuming the battery is under there) and car bonnet.
Connect the red jump lead to the red (+) terminal on the bike battery 1st. Then connect the other end to the red (+) terminal on the car battery.
Make sure this lead cannot come into contact with any metal on the bike or the car while you're connecting them or while you're trying to start the bike.
Now connect the black jump lead to something metal on the bike - I use the rear wheel nut (this is to keep the two leads apart on the bike as there's not much clearance around a bike battery). Connect the other end of the lead to the Neg (-) terminal on the car battery.
Now try and start the bike. If it won't go and starts to drain the car battery you can start the car but let it just tick over, do not rev it.
When the bike's running (or you've given up ) disconnect the black lead from the car battery and then from the bike. Then disconn the red lead from the car and then from the bike. Do not let this lead touch anything metal while you're disconnecting either end. |

Hi
There can be occasional problems swapping batteries. BMW 3 series can apparently fry the clocks when you change the battery. More worrying is that it is not unknown for it to trigger the airbag occasionally on some cars when you reconnect a battery.
Biggest problem with the ECU is likely to be that most modern ones use the feedback from the lambda probe to adjust the fueling themselves for future use, so when you disconnect the battery the system defaults back to its standard (rather poor) mapping.
There are plus point to this. Apparently the old Volvo 850 T5 would land up mapping itself quite poorly if they were used slowly. Quick fix was to disconnect the battery for a short while, connect it back up and then go and thrash the knackers off it.
All the best
