Exclamation What is the best oil to run?

I just bought a 1986 Honda V65 Magna(VF1100C). It is a stock engine, the only mods are VF1000F grind cams and a top-end oiler kit. It is currently running Amsoil 10w-40 Synthetic. Should I be running 20w-50 during the hot periods in summer? What is your opinion on 0w-40(In Canada we still have cold spring mornings)?

Thanks.
