Is it safe to assume that the 10w40 is good for the colder months and I should use the 20w50 for the hotter months?

20w50 synthetic year round...., unless severe heat conditions where a straight 50wt can be used. An Amsoil rep can recommend anything he wants, but
is he going to warranty the bike and there's a problem, when HD calls for 20w50 and he said differently?
Not thinkin' so....
If it's synthetic, a 20w50 is thin cold and that's one benefit of synthetic oils. Telling you to run a 10w40 rather then a 20w50 is
organic oil methodology, not synthetics. Mr. rep needs to read up on his oil tech. Listen to your manual, not an oil rep.
