I did not claim to know the reason it happens, just knew it could.
some others pointed out in that other thread that something must have been wrong before jumping it which is basically what I was getting at. or there were parts used that were on the lower end of the tolerances. we don't know.
I just wanted to point out that there is a chance, no matter how small that you can fry a part of the system jumping it from a car battery. the last I looked at that other thread somone posted that they hooked up a lawnmower (I think) to a car battery and it spun up so fast it sounded like a jet. I thought he was trying to stir the pot some but do remember that happening to 50cc atv's when hooked to like a battery big enough to crank a bigger bike.

The lawn mower was probably 6V, if it was 12v, it'd spin the same, remember 12v's is 12v's. The other effects happen only when you first connect the second battery up and only for a fraction of a second.
