Never use cables with wires exposed. The wires can ground to the vehicle, start a fire or worse case, electrocute you to death. There is enough current going through the cables during cranking to weld steel(100+amps).

Yes. The potential difference, or voltage, involved in a telephone call is very little, hence the thin wires used in telephone cables.

How do you jump a 2006 Honda Shadow Aero battery?

The procedure is basically the same for cars and motorcycles, the brand does not matter. First, make sure the bike ignition is switched off. Next, locate the bike's battery. This is under the seat. You can use a car battery or another fully charged motorcycle battery for jumping but first you should ask yourself a question: why is the bike battery without power? If the battery is old, then there is no option but changing it as jumping is an emergency procedure, not a permanent solution. Next, get jumper cables. Connect the red cables to the positive poles and then connect the black or blue cables to the negative poles. Always connect to the jumper battery before connecting to the bike battery. Now, leave the cables in place for a minute or two, then try starting the bike. You will normally be able to start the engine soon unless there is a mechanical or other problem preventing its start. As soon as the bike engine starts, disconnect the jumper cables, beginning with the negative cable at the bike battery, then the positive cable. Be careful, it is normal for some sparks to fly, keep gasoline and other flammable materials away from the place at a safe distance.
