Tracy nearly did that in my car... except if he had "found" it, the transmission probably would have eaten itself since he would have thrown it into reverse.

That being the case a MC battery would cause the same damage. And if it caused the cdi to burn up, it was bad before you hooked the battery up.

I had a 69 440 6 pack dodge coronet rt with an automatic. And I had it wot and accidentally shifted it from 1st to reverse at about 50 mph, and it went into reverse. I don't remember it breaking anything, but the back of the car jump up and down a few times before I got it back into drive....

I did this exact same thing back in high school with the '68 Impala 327 I had. I seem to remember I was trying to show off, and, well, didn't.

available amperage from a motorcycle battery is much lower than the smallest car battery.

just because you have never seen it doesn't mean it can't or hasn't happened.

The RC has a tach, and six gears, but I have yet to try for 7th. Hell I rarely ever used 6th.

The VTX on the other had, was a different story. No tach just a spedometer, and 60 in 4th felt very much like 75 in 5th. On that big beast, I've tried for 6th, hell I've even tried for 7th on that pig.

You should go read the cold cranking amp chart on this page. At 10 volts your motorcycle battery is producing 100 amps, 100 amps is enough to fry all the electronics on a bike except the starting circuit.

Probably the reason the battery's dead in the first place is the electronics are shorted.

Yeah it would!
