Tonight here in michigan with roughly 25 degree temps outside, I was in awe at how slowly the motor turned over during starting. I currently have 10w40 yamalube in this machine with 150 miles on it, and it sat for about a week since last ride. I then googled "yamaha grizzly 700 cold starting" and found many issues with this!

What are you all doing to combat this issue that is NOT a secret as I read? Besides synthetic oil.. does any manufacturer make a larger cold cranking amp battery for these quads? I will NOT be a happy camper should this thing fail to start for me in winter time. I read that some folks depress the throttle a bit while cranking?
I understand that the compression on this single cylinder beast makes this issue more prominent, but I would have thought that yamaha would have installed compression relief valves for cold startup if they knew they had a cold starting issue? Someone put my mind to ease please? THANK YOU.
