warm the bike first with heaters, check fluids, gas can freeze, batteries do drain in severe cold.

For what possible reason would you want to start a bike in -18 degree weather? Just curious...

Cold has affected more than your poor bike. Who in their right minds starts a bike in that kind of cold anyway. Go back inside, have a warm drink and rethink.

Listen to what you are reading here. The oil is like molasses if you do actually get it to start engine damage could occur. Let her be. It's fn cold here too but my bikes go in the walk out basement so they are warm till spring. Old lady bitches a lot bout it but O well.
