Anyone running a straight weight in their bike? I don't, but have thought about it. I currently run 15w40 in my V-Star. When summer rolls around and temperatures are constantly over 70, why couldn't I run straight 30 or 40? Ambient air temperature would not require the use of 15 weight on start up and I wouldn't have to worry about oil shear. Is there a flaw in my logic? Is there any advantage to running straight vs multi-weight oil in the summer?
