use the regular 10w-40 at the dealership then when your finished breaking it in go to mobile 1 r ed cap. ;)

20w-50 is way better for a higher compression bike. The local mechanic here bored out my quad and I was runnig 10w-40 and it was turning watery when the bike would get worm, But when I ran the 20w-50 it runs cooler and it stays on the dipstik so I can Check it.:devil:

I run mobile 1 15w-50 right now(red cap) and I was thinking about going with a 416 this summer and a stage 2 hot cam. Should I just continue using this oil for break in, or should I go with Honda oil first??

I would use non synthetic oil for break in. After break in go back to the 15/50 red cap
