Lately I use 0w30. I don't want to be a pansy, so I only put the bike away for the winter after I have to pick it up off the icy road a few times. Three weeks later I'm ready to call it an early spring.

Picking the bike up is a pain this winter, since I have a wheely-induced hernia.

I would like to add to the "stupid" comments on the 27,000 miles without an oil change. That motor will seize soon...
I run ProHonda 10W-40.

2003 chevy silverado=27,xxx on a oil change and still going
had my 900 all summer and never changed the oil in it and it did great.

works for me, everyone else will probally say im stupid

man if you knew anything about internal oiling you'd know your rado isn't gonna last. the reason you grenaded a bike motor is because the oil probably wasn't changed for a long time, then you put thin clean oil in and lost oil pressure. i wouldn't change the oil in the truck cause the same things probably gonna happen, i think you'll be lucky to get 60,000 out of it. my buddies rollin up on 65,000 miles on his bike with regular changes and it still runs like a champ
