How do you charge a motorcycle battery with a car battery?
You must get a couple of so-called jumper cables. The cables have strong clamps on them and are designed to be clamped to the battery terminals. Attach the black cable to the negative terminals of the motorcycle and car battery first. Then attach the red or positive cable to the positive terminals of the motorcycle and the car battery. In case your motorcycle battery is empty, you can now start the bike from the car battery. Disconnect the cables in reverse order, beginning with the red cable. The motorcycle battery will not be charged much by the car battery but the bike can be jump started by using this method.
How do you charge a 12 volt motorcycle battery?
Very gently. A motorcycle battery can't take as much charging current as a car battery, so you need to use the lowest setting on your charger.
Can you jump-start a motorcycle from a car with jumper cables?
I would not recommend jump starting a motorcycle using a car, unless it's an extreme emergency. Then you do not want the car running, or you could fry your charging system. *Edit* Actually jump starting a motorcycle from a car battery is absolutely fine - whether the car is running or not. The motorcycle battery will only draw the power it needs from the car battery and won't overload it's own circuits. I have jumped a motorcyle from car batteries many times, and when we service motorcycles at the roadside that have dead batteries we hook them up to the generator in the van that we also use to start 18 wheelers that are having battery trouble, so its perfectly fine

Yes as long as it is the right voltage: a 6v battery needs a 6v charger; a 12v battery needs a 12v charger. <><><> If you can set the battery charger's output to give either a 6 or a 12 volt output, then you must always remember to set it to 6 volts if you want to use it to charge a 6 volt motorcycle car battery.
What charges a battery on a motorcycle while you are riding it?
Motorcycles have either an alternator or generator depending on the age of the bike. This charges the battery in the same way that a car battery is charged.

No, not if the motorcycle is wired for a 6 volt system. This must be a very old motorcycle.

Your battery is dead if it will not accept a charge. Begin by removing the battery cover. Next, remove the negative and positive cables. Lift the battery out of the motorcycle. Replace it with a new battery and attach the negative and positive cables. Turn on the motorcycle to check that the lights are working and start the motorcycle to make sure that it runs properly. Replace the battery cover.
