I jumped my friends Honda 300ex with my truck twice with no problems.

I was very much hoping this involved a ramp and a car painted like the General Lee.

I got a jump for a 1500 Vulcan from a pickup truck.  Should work as long as it's a 12V system.

Never had a problem doing it.  


Just don't try the reverse.  (jump starting your truck with your atv)

real answer.  
I've seen the next door neighbor do it without issues.    This doesn't have a backup pull starter?

If they are both 12V it shouldn't be a problem.  I would connect the two batteries together and start my car and let it charge the ATV battery for 10-15 minutes, then kill the car and crank the ATV with the batteries still connected.  Make sure the ATV battery is not frozen before you try to charge it!
