What is it?
When its this cold I have to pump it about 10 times before I kick it...

i would say the temps then bro...this cold is hard on them...put your battery on a maintenance charger(battery tender or something similar) and if you have some kind of portable heater, stick it near the atv for a few hours...see if that makes a difference...

i wouldn't rush out and buy a new battery...take that one to be tested before just blindly buying one...it may still be good, just not charged enough to start the bike

charge the battery and it will work.

Pour a little bit of gas right into the cylinder it will start right up. Or just use some starter fluid. Also next time you change your oil go with a 0w40 it is designed for cold weather. That should help you to.
