I haven't jumped a bike with 24v (yet), but I did jump a car that way. I just unhooked the feed wire from the starter then clamped directly to the stud and the engine ground strap, then used the car's 12v to trigger the solenoid as normal. Only had a 24v system to jump from, no roll starting ability (stupid automatics), and I had an adjustable wrench. Took me all of five minutes, no starter damage, and that was that.
Just saying if all you have available to jump from is 24v, it isn't the end of the world. I may at some point have to do it, I too work for a bus company and all we have are 24v jump boxes.
