Then, after you've filled the engine with the proper amount of oil, turn over the engine with the kill switch off (if you have a bike that allows you to do this) to build up oil pressure (you'll know you're good to go when the oil pressure light goes off). Then flick the kill switch off and start the engine as per usual.
FWIW, I use Rotella T 5W-40 in my Honda Hawk GT and have had no issues.
Not possible on the CB1100.
