I live in the middle between Tuscon and Phoenix and I ride year round atleast a couple times each week.
Either to go get some coffee, explore, or to commute to work.
It gets to be 115-118 out here during the summer and just warm the test of the time.
Bike 1: 2022 Triumph Street Scrambler sandstorm edition 900CC parallel twin
Triumph specs both 10w40 and 15w50 for this bike which is liquid cooled. Do you think 10w40 is fine or should I go for the 15w50?
I am not sure whats in it because the dealer serviced it before I bought it. The bike only had 941 miles when I bought it from there used
on sale. Funny ironic part about is, 2 days after I traded my 17 Hayabusa in for it, I won a gallon of Motul X300 10w40 in a raffle at Cycle Gear.
Bike2: 2001 Honda Valkyrie
I bought this bike for touring and long rides with my son. It is also a project for my Dad and I too since he always wanted one.
I am currently running a fresh change of Mobil 1 4T Racing 10W40 synthetic. This bike is liquid cooled and has a much larger
cooling system/Fan setup than the triumph. Should I stay with the 10w40, or consider something a little heavier?
