    If battery is completely dead it probably wont start anyway. If its just low battery so it wont crank over, no problem (except the excessive charging amps can fry the rectifier/regulator unit)

    Second gear never hurt mine.

    The Yamaha liked third better.

    Not any more than it hurts a car - in other words, as long as it's done only occassionally it should be no drama
