Default Raptor 700R is 10W-30 oil OK?

I got a Yamaha Raptor 700R Limited Edition and I need to do an oil change and all I have at the moment is 10W-30 PREMIUM engine oil. I am wondering if it is OK to use this oil until I do the next oil change please give me some advice thanks in advance.

No, you need an oil for wet clutch systems. ATV or motorcycle oil. I use Rotella t6 in my quads and my Harley.

I use Rotella T6 it is a synthetic 15w 40 for diesels. It has no friction modifiers and works awesome in ATV's and motorcycles that have a wet clutch system.
