Actually, I thought this was a faster way of getting to the root of my problem. I literally have heard from 6 different people on this and got 3 different answers. Thanks Y'all!

Problem is...I'm still getting a variety of answers. I guess I'm just looking for the "most likely" scenario.

since most of the electrics are protected by fuses, my vote would be the starter . 12 volts but enough amps to cause a bad burn. the starter is'nt protected by a fuse. ikazuki

None of the above. Your jump supplies 12-14 volts, just like the battery does.
Do you damage your car when you jump start it from a truck? No. Same goes for a bike.
One qualifier, same as everyone else's - unless you do something stupid.

The question is which of the following is most likely to get damaged from a jump start. The answer is the current regulating diodes in the r/r, without question, are most suspectable to excess heat and damage. Jump start or no jump start.Currently bikeless

the best way too jump start from a car battery is too not have it attached too the car. I chose other. I was hoping this was going too be kick starts. and I had a story too tell about too.\\/
