I use 10W-30. The 10 W is how well it will flow in the cold. 10W, winter. The 30 or 40 is for heat, the higher up you go the thicker the oil. I don't think a 49 CC engine needs 40 in fact you might have a problem since the 10W-40 needs a little more time to warm up and flow better. If you run your bike at full throttle in 100 degree heat then thicker is better. If you ride more sane at 70 degrees outside temp then thinner is better.
