But you cranked it over.

Not sure the weak link in the volt reg is the diode. I really doubt you are stress the stator when jumping.

I personally carry a jump pack. They are cheap and very effective. I have used it 5-6 times to help stranded bikes but never on my own. One like this

I jumped a bike before without it running. I had it hooked up for a couple minutes then started the bike. Road king to be exact.

Maybe the battery was not totally dead?
