Hmmm, Is it any hotter out , where you are now, than when you rode it before? My sources say it came with 10w 40 in it, so if you put 10/40 back in it, there should be no difference in heat the engine emits.
I run GN4 10w40 in mine and it was stinking hot this week riding when we weren't in the mountains. 75 degrees in the mountains, 95 degrees when we came down in the valleys. Wouldn't have wanted to be wearing shorts when riding in the valleys, thats for sure.
Hi Ferret ....I am In Napervile IL and it's quite hot here and I use the exact oil (GN4 10w40 ) that you are referring . Any ways let's see . After all the advices from all of you I think it's nothing to worry abt...I will Plan for a trip tomorrow ... .....

Air cooled engines gets hot in second , try opening the throttle up while you are cruising for a quick acceleration and you can feel her roaring up and building up some good heat in a flash, she is a big air cooled 4 that's why. nothing to worry about.
Thanks Wildezt ......Very Nice piece of advice .....
