don't panic. this is normal.
it takes a few seconds until the oil pump has build up sufficient pressure to pump the oil through the crankshaft and up to the cylinder head. let her run idle for a minute before you start.
for normal use, 20W50 is absolutly o.k.
if you ride during wintertimes 10W40 might be better. keep in mind, oil temperature will not exceed 20-25°C while riding in rain with air temperature short above freezing point, no matter how hard you try!
have fun!
