Default What brand of oil for your 4 stroke?

Gonna change the oil in my KFX 400. This will be the first oil change. I use Mobil 1 in my hotrods, But don't know if it's right for the 400. Do any of you guys use synthetic in your Kawis?

I use Honda GN4 in all my quads, regardless of brand.
I buy it by the case and get it for 3.25 per quart.

No, I don't trust syn oil and wet clutches. Other people use it w/o problems, I play it safe.
GN4 is specifically blended for motorcycle engines with wet clutches.
I have used it for years and trust it completely.

Both my quads use Mobil 1, never had a clutch problem... Use it in my harleys for years, never had any problems. Cant beat the protection in the hot summers.
