Yes and no.
It is safe if done correctly.
The car should be OFF and the cables should be disconnected as soon as the bike starts.......

The charging system on the bike will ***NOT*** recharge a dead battery, unless you ride it maybe 500 miles all at once !!
The best thing to do is use a low capacity charger, something like 2-4 amps for 12 hours or a 1 amp "tender" for about 48.
If the battery was already 2 years old or more, you are probably gonna need to replace it.
Several of us owners have stories about running a battery dead and then trying to keep using it. At least 50% of the time, once it is run WAY down, it's a gonner.
