20/50 in all 3 holes, yes.
75/90 in the transmission, even in the winter, yes.
Proper engine warm up is more critical in cold weather, just don't hammer your bike until it's up to operating temperatures.

I like a basic dino single weight for the primary, 20-30 is fine. The additives in synthetic oil and the syn itself is not always good for the clutch plates.

I like to use the proper lubricant for it's intended use. 20w-50 for engine, 75w-140 tranny, and supershift ATF for primary.

I use AMSoil in all my vehicles. I can't say it's the best, but I can point 'n' click and have it delivered to my door in just a few days. What I pay in freight is about what I would pay in gas just cranking up my V8 4x4 in the driveway.
