How can I find out the proper voltage of unknown DC motors, like ones that I've scavenged from somewhere?

I tried connecting the wires to my multimeter that was set to AC and spinning the shaft, but I didn't get far with that.  (-:

If I run one with the wrong voltage I can burn it up, right?

Thanks!
Lindy
