Riding in the east bay area, 20W50 (easier to find) would work.
BTW 10W40 is only rated for up to 104F

I am currently using 10W50 in my Yamaha Bolt, but having difficulty getting 2 more quarts from O'Relllys for next oil change. After that, I plan to run 20W50, since, unlike Ferret, I am not likley to start a ride below 50F.

From what you say I conclude it’s better not to operate the bike with 10w50 or 20w50 if it gets colder than 50F (it’s not uncommon in the early morning in the East Bay in colder season), right?

Upd. I see, thanks.
