10W40

10w-30 or 10w-40.
I use the 10w-40 myself.
Doesn't really matter which you use in reality.
Don't use thin, 0 or 5 weight anything.
15 or 20 weight is considered too heavy for a 6 cylinder bike.
But I used 20w-50 in my Valkyrie 1500 and never gave it a 2nd thought.
Quieted my transmissionso it was worth it for me.

Honda changed there recommendation to 10w30 around 07. I always use 10w40 in mine. If youre getting your oil in the jugs whatever weight you use make sure the round symbol does NOT have energy conserving or Resource conserving which is bad for your wet clutch.

I like K&N KN-204 it has the nut on the top for easier removal. I use either AMSOIL filters or K&N depending on applications.
