Just use a good filter and Amsoil 10W-40. It doesn't get any better than that.
I checked the labels carefully and it says it can be blended with the syn oil ? I am about fed up with this and that about oil.. I am about to go back to just using regular oil and just changing it like it supposed to be changed...
Tinman RP is good oil; I used to use it and I beleve Heirloom still does. It just has a slightly higher molybdenum content - not enough to affect your clutch.

It performed much better in the 3 ball wear test than any of the other contenders. It is actually a diesel oil, but, contains no friction modifiers....so, safe for the wet clutch. I like the lower number that allows the oil to get into the heads and critical parts much sooner, plus it has excellent adherence for when the bike is sitting. You can get the gallon jug (blue, don't get the white jug, it is dino oil) at Wally World for ~$20......I have bought it for as low as $16. Been running it for over a year and have noticed a typical decrease in my oil temp....about 5 - 8 degrees.
