If you can't find that oil and you want a real good motorcycle oil you might consider us. Click on the oil testing link below to do some research on motorcycle oils.

Amsoil Dealer Group 08-16-2010, 10:09 PM 20W-50 is indeed too high a viscosity. 10W-30 or 10W-40 Motorcycle Specific oil. NOT Auto oil. The Best isn't cheap Cheap isn't The Best Bob MalinerR6 04-19-2011, 05:42 PM I disagree. Everyone I talk to use 20W-40 or 20W-50 fully syn. I use Royal Purple 20W-50 Max Cycle which is what my local Yamaha service center recommends as well. The main thing you want to ensure is the wet clutch protection and avoid those environmental additives. Amsoil Dealer Group 04-19-2011, 05:55 PM I disagree.

People use a higher viscosity oil when using a petroleum oil or a cheap oil like RP because of shear.. If you use a Premium Synthetic, 10W-40 is the required oil. Not sure what "environmental additives" you are referring too... Additives are what makes the oil work properly. An engine would not run for long just on a Base Stock.
