Just don't put synthetic in it until you have at least 1500 to 2000 miles...Until then use what came in it or your favorite 10w 40 petroleum based oil....
Once you get 1500 miles switch to synthetic Mobile 15w50 car oil or Moibile MX4t 10w40 motorcycle specific oil......Those two oils are nearly identical except for the viscosity and the car oil has about 80 ppm moly which is not enough to worry about...These two are my favorite and I can't tell a bit of difference between them except the car oil is cheaper....I CAN tell a difference between conventional oil and a synthetic...Synthetic makes my bike run a bit smoother and quiets certain engine noises.
Or, your favorite synthetic..Amsoil, motul, ect...There's a few good ones but some are expensive...
I'm a little picky but I go no further than 2500 miles before an oil and filter change and I usually change it at 2,000...
If you change it that often and are using the correct viscosity and grade of oil you are not going to have any oil related engine problems because of using a synthetic oil that may be a little inferior to another

Well, us opinionated mother f*ckers usually don't bother sharing our wisdom with numbn*t b*tthole surfers who can't take the time to read an owner's manual when they buy the f*cking bike! 
Or are you spouting off because you can't decide/figure out what brand of oil to use? Man, I bet you have problems picking out condoms too, right? 
Fuck man, till you get the breakin miles done, just run a good non-synth and don't worry bout it. If you've never bought oil, Good=castrol, penziol, etc...Bad=Wolf's Recycled Oil, etc...

You should , it is nice and clean . What is wrong with it ? The viscosity index is low but the bike does have an oil cooler . All a joke by the way . Some people like SWFT will jump off the cliff too .
So what oil do you use there swifty ? .... the audience just got silent ......
You tell us of ANY oil related failure about ANY type/brand or whatever oil . Use the cheapest oil you can find . Why pay $7-10 a quart for some over priced oil when regular dino Castrol 10W-40 $1.15 a quart car oil is all you need . Show us all of your oil related failures of people running car oil in a motorcycle . Even on the recycled oil , where is it ?
I personally like all the magic oils you hear about . You know the ones that make your bike shift better . Thought I would start up another oil debate . Board is getting slow these days .

Never mind the type of condom - what about the colour? Green ones make you last longer...
