OIL 10w40 to my FE450 2009?

Dear friends:

Hello againg. I´ve been using Aral Sinthetic oil 10w50 since the beginning in my FE450 2009 and has worked pretty well. The thing is that the importer has stopped to distribut this oil so my only option of a 100% synthetic oil was a KLOTZ 10w40.
I live in Quito-Ecuador where temperature is all year around 10 to 30 celsious with no hot summers because of ecuadorial latitudinal position and the high altitud (3.000 meters above sea level).
So the question is if it is safe for my bike to keep using this oil or it is better to change to a mineral one and maintain the 10w50 that the manual suggests.

Thanks once again.

Sebastian
 
Klotz is real good oil.
Here in northern California I run Klotz Mx4 10/40 during the winter( 20 to 50F), 15/50 during the warmer months.
If it's cold and you feel your bike is hard to start using the 15/50, switch to 10/40, that's when I know to switch.
I recently did a teardown to install a bigbore kit, everything inside looked brand new after 6 years of hard abuse.
Klotz works..
