Oil?

Which Oil weight do you recommend, the weather is still in the 90's but soon will be in the 80's to lower 70's and in 60's in few months. Should I use 10-40 or 20-50? thanks

Actually it doesn't. It tells you the type of oil you can use but I think different weight for different weather temperature is recommended. But then again, what do I know.

Maybe your manual does not specify as well as my other bike manuals. I normally run 10/40 in my rides. I do run 20/50 in my race bike. Although that will be changed to 10/40 as well synthetic.
