What kind of oil is everybody running

[DaSwami_imp]

Bringing this back... Redbirds...I find that interesting that the service manual says 10W/40 is fine, as the owner's manual in both the 2014 and the 2017 make no mention of any alternatives. Funny, as every other Japanese bike I've owned lists a viscosity range that is temperature dependent; we've all seen the horizontal "bar graphs" with arrows in the owner's manuals.

The owner's manuals say 10W/30, period.

I, too, worry about the ability of the thinner oil to hold up in the severe Florida summer heat.


Does the service manual make any mention of other weights of oil? Anybody want to post a pic of the relevant section so we can put this to rest?

Thanks...
