I think the shop manual charts are a generic reference of oils to the different temperatures.
But as HikerToo made reference to and my dealership checking on what our bikes specifically call for in the 1100 service manual it is referring to 30 weight oil. Now like my dealer said, they used the generic service info in their computer when they did the first service and did not reference the 1100 service manual to see if anything may be different. The generic service info gave them the qty of oil and since they only have 40 weight in bulk that is what they went with.
Now like I said in my other thread, not all bikes are the same. each one will have it's own personality and or quirks about them. Some will perform just fine with 40 weight while others will be noisy buggers. If you have noise from your bike with 40 weight switch to the recommended 30 weight from the service manual.
Wheels down and enjoy the bike!
