Could be the starter relay or other contacts in the starter circuit needing cleaning

The extra oomph from the other battery may be blasting the current past the crap

If it is one of the standard relays swap it with another and try it worked on my mates Mille
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

I can't see how it would work from a jump start if the relay was knackered
