hey guys just came back from cycle gear, they had a sale on the castrol power RS R4 4T full synthetic oil. but there was only the option for 5w40 or 20w50 i wanted to avoid getting the 20w50 so i got the 5w40 instead. i know its supposed to be 10w40. am i going to be ok with the oil being a little thinner on start up? does the oil pump work any differantly then on a car? thanks guys

it should be just fine in the winter in Cali.

Where are you riding in the summer ? Beach Sand (Pismo), Desert Sand (Glamis), High Desert, Valley tracks, Northern Dirt (Chico/Redding) ?
