It's a proven fact that thin oil circulates where it needs to be quicker and with less load on the engine to pump it. The only reason anyone needs 50 wt oil is in their head. I don't know of ANY engine that was ever designed for 50wt oil or needs it. Back in the day when oil was a dinasaur and viscosity couldn't be held at heated temps,then they may have needed 50wt so that at temps it would thin to 20wt and THEN would be a good lubricant. You have something else going on in that Ducati besides just a change in oil type. You are not doing it any favors by running 20W50 in it either.
