Need opinion Castrol oil and wt Im using...??

Noob here, so hi to all. Just got a nice all black 06 zx10r last week and now Im selling my 06 zx6r...

So I picked up a gal of Castrol full synthetic Power RS R4/4T ...was told its whats recomended and what the new kawis are coming with stock. Anyone using this oil. I got 5w-40, I live in Tucson where it gets pretty hot and was told this is a good weight to go with for the heat and cold start ups.

Looking for some feedback on this as I want to run the best I can for my new baby. I just picked the 10r a week ago and want to get some new oil in there. The bike has 2200k on it and I forgot to ask the original owner if he was running synthetic or not but with those low of miles I would think its ok to switch even it he wasnt. He said oil was changed at 700k miles and at 1500k...it looks ok through the site glass but I want fresh stuff in there.

So is the oil and weight I got above a good choice for the bike. Thanks a ton for any help.
