You might consider changing to a high flow oil filter... And I see you changed the oil filter this time. I suspect that might have been your issue all along.
Also again, changing over to a 10w40 will not hurt the bike. If anything, it will help it with higher ambient temps. The 10w40 provides the exact same cold temp properties of the 10w30. Where it changes, is hotter temperatures. Would you run 10w30 in it sitting in 90 degree heat stuck in a traffic jam? I know I wouldn't. That's why my big bore 750k has 20w50 in it. 0 issues.
Sorry to spoil your oil debates, but spend a few minutes reading up on oil weights and what they mean before jumping to conclusions.
