Very interesting, excellent analysis..
Makes me wonder the purpose of running a mulitgrade in any bike.
[censored] that is interesting, Im surprised for myself being kind of analytical that I have never paid attention to the 40c numbers.
But then again, its been 4 years since a water cooled bike, my now air cooled can really cook in traffic, most likely why a 20/50 is needed.
The VR1 50 weight looks like its just over 20% thicker at 100F.
Anyway, if I still had water cooling, I would absolutely look at straight weight oils in 40. I never ride or start the bike unless its in the upper 50s to 60s and a forecast to hit 70 - that would be the middle of winter.
Again, great post.
