You can use a synthetic oil providing it is not an energy conserving oil. Many 10-40 oils fall into this group. Moto specific oil will have greater shear resistance for the tranny which is something many people forget about. Diesel oils work very well in bikes and are not energy conserving. Both of our bikes use Shell Rotella 15-40.
