I don’t ride if it’s below 50 or 60 F. After looking at Ducati’s recommended oil temp chart, I doubt there’d be any difference between 15W and 20W-50.

Ultimately that will limit your cold tire management skills...

lol, The coldest I've rode in for a short time is 18 F, and the coldest sustained around 30 F.

Done that stupid .... once or twice, hence the reason why I don't anymore.

I ride down to about 35. Heated grips, extra layers (I carry 5 uppers layers and 3 lower layers plus suit), tolerable for quite a while. Guess riding in the rain is out of the question for some let alone the snow.

As a new owner of a 2024 Streetfighter V4, what are the issues of people switching to redline as opposed to staying with the Ducati 100% Synthetic 20-50 ,??

If you read this thread in its entirety you'll see exactly why not to use that garbage. All your answers are in here.

I’m in Bergen County, and do most of my riding, hanging out, and “Posing” of course, up in Bear mountain, 7-Lakes Drive, Perkins Drive.
And yes, the warm weather can’t come soon enough, very frustrating when you have a new V4 with only 10 miles on it

I head up to bear mountain all the time. There's a decent car show over there on Sundays too.I’m in Bergen County, and do most of my riding, hanging out, and “Posing” of course, up in Bear mountain, 7-Lakes Drive, Perkins Drive.

Some footage towards the end is from Bear & 7 lakes. Great area to zip around.
What looked like the last case of 15w-50 on Amazon showed up on my porch yesterday
Good to know about mixing for future @VYRUS thanks!
