I live in Utah, and plan to go riding south of me. Temps routinely exceed the 40C/104F which the manual says is the limit for 10W-40 which is the bike's normal recommendation. Both 10W-50 and 20W-50 are listed as options.
My gut says 10W-50. It still gets rather cold at high elevation in the early morning here. Maybe 15W-50 and split the difference? The engine is basically a Ninja 300 engine, although I think the redline is slightly lower. 12K redline.
