That UOA is from a 1994 Evo carbed engine which definitely runs cooler than the TC88 or 96 EFI bikes. No doubt if you have an evo then dino autmotive oil like the old version of Havoline is fine. The big selling point to me for synthetic oils is that they withstand a higher heat range than the evo engines produce. Anybody with a new TC96 who has owned an evo will tell you the engine generates way more heat. Some guys have reported heat ranges in the 300*F range which is over the maximum range a mineral based oil should be run IMO. That's all.
