She's running with a partial radiator block again, just like last winter. I hope it helps.
Techniques: I don't FAS that much, and I don't even P&G too much. It's unpleasant to press your fingers against the ice-cold (and stiffer than in warm weather) clutch lever, even through heated gloves. I even have a FAS-less route home, I time the lights instead so I don't have to stop, and, shame or not, often let her idle at the first one that can't really be timed, to save battery power and prevent stalling over my next glides. After the first mile or so stalling is not a problem, but that light is at the wrong place.

Do you do anything to enhance winter driving for the bike? Do you park the bike outside or inside at home/work?
What comes to mind is that you could use a small 2 amp smart charger to help the battery at home/work, and maybe find some way to warm the engine with an inline coolent heater or some other form of oil heater. You should see what they do in the arctic to keep machines working in the minus 40 degrees and lower winter weather.
