Looking at the chart it looks good but if you drive in the higher temps maybe a 50 weight and if your not in many low temps going up to 20-50 20 is good for "0C/32F" so unless you ride in a snow suit you should be good.. I use Delo 15-40 and I live in Ontario, I don't ride in a snow suit either Smile but we don't normally get weather as high as you, but last year was riding in Arkansas in 105F

20w-50 was what was used in mine while she was a Fla. bike. I used it up here for a couple of years but with the cooler temps she was a bit hard to start and "clunkier" while shifting till she warmed up.

The 20w-50 is what I'd use in Az.....

Good talking to ya again!!!
