Default synthetic oil in raptor?????

Was wondering if anyone had any input on putting synthetic oil in a raptor motor. I know synthetic oil is by far the way to go in just about every engine but I am unsure of how it would behave in a wet clutch system. If any one has used this or had any expeirence with please respond to this as soon as possible. Was thinking of getting it tonight for my first oil change tomorrow, only have about an hour left to get it. Thanks CL

I have heard synthetic is bad on any atv with a wet clutch...and once it gets hot, it goes throw any crack that normal oil may not....just to let you know.

Yup, I use/used Honda HP4 with GREAT results!!! BUT there are two different kinds; one is with moly, the other is without. You want the oil WITHOUT moly....I think its actually called mollybenduilum or something like that, but you'll see it.
