Just got a test report back, ~1,100 miles on new motor using Agip 10W60, everything looks OK for new; high copper and silicon normal. The oil sheared down to a viscosity of 13.03 cSt. It should be between 19 and 23, which means the oil went down to a low of 30W, high 40W. Mobil-1 20w50 @1,300 miles (other new bike) came back at a viscosity of just over 17,3 cSt. Looks like a good grade 20w50 will serve better in high temps.
