Your bike would have been run on straight monograde oil but it is more convenient to use multigrade these days as it is easier to find when miles from home and the tank is low. Before using multigrade it is best to strip the engine and give everything a good clean, including the sludge trap and the oil tank. This will prevent the detergent additives in the multigrade oil from washing off any old sludge deposits and circulating them round your engine. As LAB says, you also need to check it internally for corrosion given that it has stood for so long.
