Yes you will be fine, I use Mobile 1 car synthetic in all my bikes with no issue and get very good clutch life. My buudy had 450 passes on his stock clutch when he sold his bike and it was like new.

No problem. Have been using Amsoil 10w-40 since the 2nd oil change. Zero oil-related issues after 33.7K miles.

yea, worked great on mine for a year and a half, or as the other fella said "napa gold filter" too, most on here use the purolator. I know some use FRAM but others say it isn't as good as the purolator
