I have always run AMSOIL 10-40 in all my air cooled bikes without issue.
I'm at 2700 miles and for the first 2 changes I stayed w/ the recommended 10w30 honda. It too gets steamy in the Carolinas and for this last change went w/ the Amsoil 1040 full synthetic and love it. Super smooth and crazy as it sounds feel a performance boost in the sweet spot of 5-7,000 rpms. Read so many good things about full synthetic and especially the Amsoil. I know there are tons of opinions, but this works for me. ride safe!
