I live in South Texas. It's hot most of the year. Summer, really hot. I notice that this bike runs hot as well. Do you see any reason why I should run 10W-40 versus going with 20w50? I plan on running the Mobil 1 fully syn oil. The manual shows that 20w50 is good down to 32F or so and will handle the heat of the Texas summer. So I am leaning that way. Just wondering if there is a reason not to do this.
I have read all about the different oil brands, who's tested better and all that stuff. I change my oil often so it really doesn't matter which brand. I just think the 20w50 may offer some smoother operation/shifting in the heat of the summer versus the 10w40. Can this be confirmed?
