Default Quick Oil Question

Ive used Mobil1 for years and years in my mustang, and have used it so far with my f3. Its always been great for me, but its very expensive (especially for bikes).

Buddy of mine uses Rotella T6 in his zx-10r, and he told me to try it.

Problem is, I can only find it in 5w-40. I was sure our bikes needed 15w-40 or something along those lines. Will the 5w-40 work fine?

The 5w 40 rotella t6 works great in bikes, especially the older ones.

I got started using Rotella T6 because of my 75 cb550 and 73 cb750 and as mentioned above it works great in older bikes like mine. What you'll find out though is that it's just as expensive as Mobile 1 at least it is around here.
