I live in Northern Ontario, Canada and I had no issues at all with my raider this past winter. Even in -40*C weather it started fine, without a block heater. I have the stock carb on it, and I always pumped the gas twice before cranking it. I ran 5W30 synthetic oil in it, which doesn't thicken up as much in the cold, I also let it warm up for a while before I drove anywhere. I didn't drive it daily, maybe once or twice a week, and snow wheeling on weekends. I found that the heater in the raider works twice as well as my Cavalier also.
