If you want to gain a small performance increase, run a full synthetic, "race" oil with a thinner viscosity, but change it even more often. I think Yamalube has a 0W-30 Racing oil which is pretty good. Motul, Bel-Ray, Motorex and probably Castrol all have true full-synthetic oils which have the properties I'm talking about. You can tell, because they cost $20 or more per quart. For the most part, any oil which is called "full synthetic" but only costs $10-$12 is probably called such thanks to barely legal marketing hyperbole. It is still made from dead dinosaurs and not really man-made synthetic molecules.
For break-in purposes they are filled with non-synthetic from the factory, but switching to their full synthetic has eliminated any hard or notchy shifting for me and my friends on the RMZ450.
Suzuki is doing 15% off the entire oil/accessory catalog, with free shipping on orders over $50.
