I used 20W too.

Domas: I think Racetech recommend 20W, but check with them first. If you search through the archives for emulators by a user called BlueSV650S (i think) then he did a lot of playing around with emulators and weights of oil as he couldn't get them to work how everyone else was raving. I think in the end he used 20wt or a mix of 15wt and 20wt, but if you search, you'll find the whole story.
