About two years ago I posted this...
Stopped by the local shop to pick up a new oil filter. Asked about running 10W/40 weight oil in my CB. Guy at the counter said it was fine. Mentioned reason Honda changed to 10W/30 back in 2007 or so was for emissions. Just a FYI, the owners manual for my previous bike (BMW) cautioned against using synthetic oil during the first 6000 miles of use. Once I did change to synthetic, the transmission was A LOT smoother when shifting.
