T6 also comes in 15w-40. It's what I run in my Hawk, and have since the 200 mile mark when I did the first oil change.

I have some T6 15w40 on hand, but haven't got around to using it yet, because I bought 2 gallons of Quicksilver brand full synthetic a good while back on sale from Amazon. I run synthetic in my bikes, except for the Hawk, because I was under the impression that you were supposed to break in a motor with Dino oil. I think some claim it helps the rings to seat better, but I just do it because of what I have seen on online. My Hawk is about due for an oil change , and I will probably just run what T-4 I have left in it, and then switch it to full synthetic. I have also ran the Walmart Super Tech full synthetic motorcycle oil in my Brozz, and my Virago , but I have never seen it in gallons.

First 200 miles were done with T4 and a ZDDP additive. After that I switched to T6. It hasn't been an issue.
