Suppose it would depend how cold. I really don't even worry about it. I do carry a boost pack but have only used it on a Skidoo and a couple cars. None of my Yamahas have left me stranded in over 50000 mi of riding them. But even if they did I don't ride in a area where some kind of help is much more than a hr walk or call away.So do you think it is possible to pull over an ice cold Yamaha triple 4 stroke?
