Jump starting modern bikes

[makatya]

Will it cause any damage jump starting a ZX10R? I know that on some EMCs they can freak if you link another battery onto them. I have turned the bike over a few times but the alarm has drained her. Any clues?

Haven't got a prob with bump starting, just wondered if jump starting from another battery would screw the brains out the bike. Not the same thing but i know a mate that jump started his ford probe screwed the electronics in the Dizzy! Just don't want to damage the bike. Thanks for the input peeps.

So do you have a fix a lead that hangs out the side of your bike to plug into? How does it work? Cheers.
