That depends a lot on what state you live in. A Wisconsin or Michigan winter is a lot colder than a Kentucky or Texas winter. For the north, I say 10W40.

The colder the eather, the THINNER the oild. The warmer the weather the THICKER the oil. You can safely run 10W-40 year round as long as it doesnt drop below like 15-20 degrees below zero. If you are riding in very cold try some 10W-30 or 5W-20.
