Putz put in 10W40...Now what?

So long as it's designed for use with a wet clutch, you're fine. If not...change the oil and filter asap.

Sorry to sound like a girl but what's a wet clutch?

I got my oil changed at 4000 miles and the putz put in 10 W 40 should I switch it back to 10 W 30?

I wouldn't worry about it. I run 5W-40 Rotella in mine and the Honda shop manual says it's OK to use 10W-40.

Phew!!

A wet clutch is one that is bathed in oil. Your clutch and transmission share oil with the engine and thus the clutch is what is called wet. A dry clutch is just that....dry. It is not bathed in oil.

What you are looking for on the container is JASO. That will indicate that it is designed for use with a wet clutch.
