Honda CB 550 starter test?

How do you test the starter at home on a 1974 Honda CB 550? Can I hook it up to a car battery?

Answer 1

If they are both twelve volt, why not? Just DO NOT hook it up while it is attached to a running auto charging system.  You could fry electrical parts that way.

Answer 2

use jumper cables and do not overheat the starter by running it too long on that high amperage battery.
