Has anyone else seen this? https://youtu.be/XSnKTpGt1k0
I'm in San Diego area, and wondering if the V-Twin 20W-50 would be better suited than the 10W-40 recommended by the owner manual?
Oil threads on motorcycle forums are usually a shit show. I always use the manufacturers recommendations for oil unless I score a really sweet deal. My KTM 1190R runs Motorex 10W-50 but I was using Redline 20W-50 for a while because I got a case for 90 bucks from a distributor. Never noticed a difference. BTW, that bike was dyno'd at 120 RWHP.
Thank God, you have a sense of humor /forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

The one time I tried 20w-50 my bike shifted like hell. Thought I had clutch issues. Changed back to (the same brand and type of non-synthetic oil) 10w-40, completely back to normal.
