Yes, you can jump start from one bike to another. Do not jump from a running bike. It can cause problems with the voltage regulator or stator. Costly fix either way!

As others have said you need to look into getting a Battery Tender. I use the Battery Tender all the time. All my bikes (and most of the people I ride with) have the Battery Tender pigtail. For this reason I made a 4' to 6' jumper cable from pigtail to pigtail and carry it in my tool roll. If you try this make sure that you reverse polarity in the cable (ie test before you hook to the other bike). Wire gauge ~12-14. Pigtail ends are available at larger automotive parts house.
