I can bend the truth but I cannot extrude it through the ninth dimension.

Bad idea. The temp stated might be the lowest he rides at, in which case
5W30 is NOT recommended. Besides that, many 5WXX oils are "energy
conserving" and may be harmful to wet clutches.
> Hold the throttle open about 5% over fully closed.
Wrong. Best to leave the throttle CLOSED, not only initially but until the
"choke" is nearly "open".
These bike are not known for cold starting problems (I have one).
Sounds to me like improper technique, including maybe not letting the
starter run long enough.

Buy an AGM battery. Westco or Yuasa, doesn't matter.
Having up to an extra 50% CCA that an AGM battery will supply combined
with the battery surviving winters WITHOUT futzing with a trickle
charger makes all the difference in the world.
Oh, and 8C is not cold. That is t-shirt weather.
