Oooops! I guess he didn't see your warning about using a car to jumpstart his bike. Martin has the right idea, it's just a 12 volt battery, only larger.. especially If you eliminate the car's electrical system.
A bad rectifier might have been the initial cause for the dead battery in the first place. Who knows. ??

What Is the pourpose of a rectifier regulator?
Can the bike run without it? it is part of the charging system?

But i unplugged the rectifier and hotwired it.
It started right up!! Everything worked!
I'm guessing this means I have to buy a new regulator/rectifier?
It is one on my bike.
I have a 1979 kz650sr or the d2 version from what I've been researching,
