10w30 vs. 10w40

[Boonetown_imp]

Thanks for all the input. I’m usually only riding when it’s above 50 (getting older) so 10-40 should be ok.

That pretty well sums it up:

* 10W40
* 6 speed is the best
* Any colour but red

I'm in Southern California, I've always ran Honda oil 10/40. And used Honda filters. Just about to hit 89,000 miles on my bike. Never had a problem...

My contribution to the oil thread.

Picked this up at the bike show last weekend.

Does the stuff in the Triumph bottle make you handsome, or is it to be applied only to the faces of the handsome?

I like talking about oil. I also think, 10-40 is just fine, all the more so in the hotter areas. I used to live in Central MS, so I know what Summer hot is.

Not hard to get a ‘motorcycle oil’ these days, even Supertech has some labeled as such. In the Summer I hardly ever allow much of a warmup, though start the drive gently. If cooler I may give it more time.
