Used 10/40 in my 916 motor. I was topping up after every rideout (say 150-200miles). Currently I have a 996 and use 15/50 Motul 300V fully synth, very happy indeed, and very little topping up required.

I guess it is down to preference and how you use your bike. I'd stick with 15/50, but the decision is yours.
