If I'm not mistaken ,the orifice restricts flow to the transmission area. Mike, 20w50 isn't rated for any higher temperature than 10w40 , Verslagen's test was done at his local, southern CA . I doubt your temperatures are any higher than his. You reference HD's but as you said they don't have overhead cams , and being long stroke motors have higher piston to wall speed for the same rpm as a Savage, the rear piston also suffers from a lack of cooling air ,all good reasons to use 20w50 , but they are not present in the Savage and the reason a 40w oil functions better in them. Your love affair may just be a habit ,you may be happy ,but is your bike?
