But you can only learn by your mistakes or asking those more learned than you.
I still don't know the answer to my question either so obviously I haven't learned anything yet!

OK, fair do's and you will be fine because the oil is black and slippy and will stop the motor going bang.
why, as a matter of interest, did you ever think it wouldn't be OK
OK, once more from the same thread you asked your question in:
Blah... blah... blah... aha, here it is:
So, we can conclude that 10-40 will be fine and - if your bike has done over 10,000 klicks - synth will be fine, too.
If it is any comfort at all, my 05 vanilla GS's owner's manual used to specify 10-40 exactly, followed by a very similar 'other viscosities' chart. My 06 GSA's manual switches to 20-50 for what is otherwise a near enough identical engine. 10-40 did / does fine in both. As did / does 20-50 and a hybrid mixture of the two, a sort of 15-45 or thereabouts if I mixed them 50/50. Synth, semi-synth and straight mineral they have all gone in and mixed with no problems.
Just do as it suggests in your owners handbook and you will not go far wrong and don't worry about draining it out / refilling it just for the sake of it. It will simply be a waste of money.
PS Why didn't I just say that in the first place?
Answer: Because,
was quicker.
Go in peace.
your too good to em wanpping

How's your 'What exhaust?' poll going?
It's probably up there with the 'my bike won't start, is it my battery?' and 'my heated grips cause my throttle to stick' and 'I've got this great video clip with Hitler in it' threads.
The oil I put in my engine is honey coloured and slippy, am I using the wrong oil
You've used honey by mistake. Your engine will still run sweetly.

And you will really buzz along, particularly down B roads.....

I dunno Puk, I kinda liked the "should I take my panniers off when I go into my hotel" thread myself
LOL, me too, he took me to the bike and handed me the keysas this wasn't explained to me at the hand over which i never got.
