jump leads

Is it OK to use jump leads from a car to the 1200GS?
No problem with the can bus and all that?

Yes, just connect direct to the battery in the conventional manner.

need to be a bit cautious. A car battery is larger, and the alternator could well be too. So you could simply put too much belt down the wires into the bike battery with the car engine running. I'd try it first with the car not running.
