10w40, 15w40, 15w50, 20w50 are usually the preffered grades.
Temps in the 60's are not cold and any one of the above grades will be completely fluid.
All carburated engines are a little bit harder to start in cooler temps. EFI can compensate for cooler,denser air, carburators cannot. You have to manually compensate with more choke and longer warm-ups.What weight oil should I be running in my Shadow 1100?
Use 10w40 from 32-70 degrees and use 20w50 from 50 on up. The temperatures overlap so as you can use the one oil longer if needed.
10w40
Dont do what I did. 10w-30 will cause the clutch to slip bad.
