Here in Mich I have a new 06 raptor, brought it home in Dec was still warm put about an 1hr on it. its been inside since i've been riding my banshee. when to start it today started for a sec. then would not start again its maybe 20 deg here now. i turn it over now it backfires every so often. One what will the backfire harm on this machine and what can i do to get it started?

Thanks

Change your spark plug. These 700s run VERY rich during warm up and will sometimes foul the plug if you don't let it idle for a few minutes.
Don't even TOUCH the throttle for atleast a few minutes.
