Instead, he recommends (and used at the 1000 km inspection of my CB 1100) partly synth 10W40 oil of [url=http://www.fuchs-silkolene.de/produkte0/ride.html]this brand.

Complete rubbish. If the syn oil is motorcycle specific, you should have no issues whatsoever. I am running Repsol 10W30 4T Racing Full Syn in my bike since 500mi and not one issue. Runs like a watch.

Others threads on this topic in this forum. Some members have complained about excessive engine noise when running 10W40 viscosity in their bikes. I would stick with the Honda recommended 10W30 oil for winter and summer use.
