AFTER, yes. Just make sure the oil doesnt have any friction modifiers.

Riders of atvs with separtate clutch and engine oil like the 450R, and a lot of bikes. Also, automobile owners.

Don't use 20-50 on a brand new quad. Thats way too thick.
I'd stick with 10-40 till your motor has 50,000 miles on it.
