Use whatever is the manufacturers recommended viscosity for your particular bike. Usually 10-40 or 20-50.

It's a brand of synthetic oil, I believe.

Oh, oh, I should delete my question. I don't want to be accused of starting another oil thread. ;D

You didn't start it, but you did perpetuate it, which is almost as bad!

Oh crap, so did I! ::)

You should always ask an old Honda CB-750 dragracer about oil cause I've tried them all

I won't go there, but what part of the world are you at?  If it's hot where you are, then 20/50 is what you should use.

I don't use synthetic in my Honda, but I do use 20-50.  Seems to work well in our heat.  No matter what you use, make sure to change it with sufficient frequency.

Damn! I just made an oil comment.  Now the thing'll continue like a thin viscosity runny oil that can't be mopped up...
