Why were some ppl saying that 0w40 wasnt as good on the track? Im assuming that ppl were thinking that it would be too thin for protection under hotter temps but my thinking is that this oil is a better protectant under harsher conditions. I will give it a go.
I think the reasoning as the oil gets very hot, the fuel pump might not be able to keep up (correct me if I'm wrong).

Kawasaki tested the oil up to 230 I think and said the pressure was fine at that point. You'd have to ask him.

Like I said, I've beaten mine pretty good and the 0W40 doesn't act any different than the 10W60 did IMO.
Fuel pump or oil pressure?

Does oil temp not get hotter than 230F at the track? Granted the needle doesnt move much but is that even accurate?
