Default Jump Starting me Bike with a Car?

derpitty derp derp derp!

so i left the parking light on (whats that for anyways ) and now my battery is completly dead. I've read post where they used a battery charger and all is well, but i'm stranded at work without access to one. I was wondering if there where any side effects that may occur when jump starting the bike with a normal size car. can it powersurge the bike? or will it even work? thanks if you guys could shed some light

btw the bikes a '04 gixxer 6
