    I contacted Amsoil and asked them why their 20W50 oil was not rated for JASO since it isn't so indicated on the bottle. Here's the reply I got. So for you folks that like the "50" viscosity in warm weather, you can used Amsoil.

    How about now? They say that it is listed on the bottle, but I didn't see it. I'm going to look again.

    APPLICATIONS
    Use AMSOIL 20W-40 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil in motorcycles that require 20W-40 motorcycle oil and any of the specifications listed below, including those made by Victory* and Indian*.

    • JASO MA
    • API SM
    • ILSAC GF-4
    COMPATIBILITY
    AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil is compatible with other conventional and synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the oil’s life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. Aftermarket oil additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil.

    OR

    go to this link and read all about it.
