As long as it's motorcycle friendly as in NON ENERGY SAVING oil, you should be fine. There are friction reducing compounds in the ENERGY SAVING oil which can cause problems with the clutch disks.  The engine and crankcase use the same oil (I'm assuming you knew this already, but I'm just making sure).
