oil viscosity for honda hornet

[Destijl]

Hi guys

Just getting my first service done on my 2008 honda hornet this week and after which im looking at switching to fully synthetic. However i need some advice about the correct oil viscosity.

the description recommends 10w30 whilst the chart tends to say that since we live in a hotter climate i should be running 10w40. Any suggestions?

While im on the topic i was actually looking at running amsoil 10w40, anyone had any experience with this oil?

10W40 will be fine, and will give you a way larger choice. I can't think when I last saw a 10W30 m/c oil (haven't really been looking though).
No experience with Amsoil, but interval length will make a way bigger difference than brand. Best way to see if it suits the bike is to run it, and pay attention to the gearbox feel at 100/500/1000km, then compare with a different brand the next time.

Thanks alot for that. Will 10w40 be fine even in winter?
