Bike left outside on cold weather

[alexa]

Hello everyone,
Now that i've solved the cold engine mistery (indeed, the problem with my engine was basically related to cold weather, but i changed the spark plugs anyway ) i need another piece of advice.
First thing's first: I own a 1999 Ducati Monster 600 Dark.
It seems i mis calculated my plans and bad weather caught my baby home, outside, with basically no chance to take her to a garage.
Now it's snowing like hell in Bucharest and the worst news are that temperatures will drop down to -12 / -14 degrees Celsius by night and -7 / -8 degrees Celsius by day.
Should I be worried that my motorcycle is outside on temperatures like this? I must say i haven't took out neither the oil nor the petrol in her but i did took off the battery.
Is there anything i can do? Right now i cannot even call for a platform, because the small roads between the blocks are filled with snow.

Anyway, i would appreciate any piece af advice you have for me.
Thank you

Hi and welcome to the site.......if she were mine I'd take her indoors, but if that isnt an option I would wash her well, then spray her from head to toe ( except for brake discs and calipers, levers and pegs ), with a product called ACF-50, and if you cant get that, WD-40.....Though I understand your local authorities dont cover the roads in salt and grit like they do here..And as you say, keep the battery on charge. She's aircooled so you dont have to worry about liquids freezing and expanding, but I would keep a blanket wrapped around the engine in such temperatures, just to protect the thin alloy fins from becoming too brittle, and I'd get the tyres off the ground....

If you can get it covered up that will help, even with a piece of plastic sheet or tarpaulin. In the past I have made a cheap bike heater from an old tin can (biscuit or cake tin) with a 40 watt light bulb fitted inside. Placing that under the cover will produce enough heat to keep the engine from not freezing and make the conditions slightly better for everything. That depends of course if you can get electric power out to the bike as well.
