The oil isn't a factor. I have to think about it these days, but thinner oil is used in colder temperatures, not hotter. And, almost all people here use 10w50 Mobil 1. Living in the desert I always used 20w50 Mobil 1 V-twin when I had my R1200S & R1100S. Never had an issue. In construction (rare), I would turn the bike off. It's also not recommended to let the engine sit and idle, to even warm it up. Just start & go. Those engines need air movement to stay cool.
