I know Aprilia recommend using 15w/50 spec oil but would it harm the engine if I used a 10w/40 or 10w/50 fully synthetic oil instead, and would this have any effect on oil consumption ?
 
Lots of threads to do with this. I asked my manufacturer-approved mech, 10w-40 blend (semi-synthetic) is okay, just change back when the heat comes. I chose Castrol ActEvo.

My 2007 book says to use 15W-50 semi-synthetic (AGIP).

Easier starting and no oil consumption noticed.
 
Silkolene comp 4 for me and lots of others, lard is just for the weekend haha
 
when i got my falco it had 10-40 semi rock oil in it, at my first service changed to 15-50 semi sport 4 got clutch slip and a heavy gear box so changed to 10-40 semi sport 4 and cleaned plates all fine now so i would stick with same oil hope this helps
