Default I'm having some problems and need some help
It is 18 below and my bike will not start...I turn the ignition on but I can't hear the fuel pump turn on...Any suggestions on what could be wrong would be helpful.

If it's 18 below why would you want to start it? Going somewhere? More harm just starting it then letting it rest
