Default synthetic oil, or arctic cat oil?
went to autozone today, Valvoline has a synthetic oil out for motorcycles, and its $.50 cheaper than arctic cat oil, would it hurt to run the valvoline in my DVX 400? (it says extra protection for wet clutches)

i just put some synthetic in my rappy and it seems to run smoother, and shift smoother too. everything seems smoother actually, even clutch pull, ide go for it.

OK, provided your engine is fully broken in! I run Honda HP4 (without moly), a synth blend.
