Two questions, first has anyone had battery problems, Last night after rideing, 
the sled sat out in -10 weather for about 4 hours, I had trailered it with 3/4 tank ( i know the shut offs are going in tonight) Went to start it and all I got was 1 click sound every time I turned the key. I backed trailer and all into the heated shed and left it til this morning. Hit the key and she fired right up. So my questions are if it was hydro-locked would the fuel drain away or is my problem just a weak battery and when its cold it can't turn it over, also will Yamaha warrenty a battery. I have only had the sled 10 months.
thanks![/i]

Check if your battery terminals are tight.
Its possible they maybe loose I checked mine when I brought my sled home and they were finger tight. Maybe just the temperature change could be enough to give a bad connection

Definitely check the connections, the connection on the starter of my dad's RX-1 was very loose, actually fell off during a ride after he had it about 6 months.

Could be a water-contaminated solenoid. The solenoid will click, but if there is ice on the contacts, won't crank the motor. Thawing it would have melted the ice if that was the problem.

Was the battery fully charged? When cold if not fully charged it will act as you described and then work better once warmed.
I need a new Battery in my Wolverine quad, I keep it in my shop. The shop is cold when I first go in there and if I try to start it, it just clicks. If I let it warm up first it rolls over with no problem.
