I use Mobil 1 and have since bike was broke in at 2k miles. If you use the M1 10/30 just make sure that you change it at around 1k to 1500 miles as it breaks down a little quicker than the 15/50. The 15/50 has more protection but you lose about 3 hp. I will give up 3 hp for longer and better lasting oil.
There a story on Dragbike about the girl that got in to the 9.s and she is using some 0 wt oil. But I would bet that you change it allot and I don't know how well it would protect your clutch pack.
