What oil should I be running in my 400ex. Stock everything but pipe and filter. Should I run a synthetic?

I would. Dyno oil last about 1 ride untill it needs change. The 400ex motor ruins oil.

i have run synthetic in my 400ex since i have had it...it is a 2000 and still on the original clutch plates.
I change the oil in it every 5 to 10 rides(depending on how hard i ride) and most of the time, it still looks like new.

As long as the oil doesn't have friction modifiers it should be fine, it if says it's for a wet clutch it will be fine also.
