I see you are 0 years of age, so should not be riding a motorcycle!! -I would suggest a15\40 oil because of the high temperature. I rode an 500 Enfield out there 2 years ago and had a great time!

Given the temperatures I would use a straight 50 (SAE50) as per the book "CLICK HERE"

Naughty, naughty, Rob! I agree, straight 50 is "per the book"-but out in "the bundoo" you have to take what you can find!!
