Castrol 10W30 motorcycle oil for racing bikes. Any good for a TDM850 ?

 

At first glance it's a very advanced well researched product.....however , according to the TDM850 user manual, it is unsuitable because it has an API rating of 'SL', and Yamaha recommends a rating of no higher than 'SH'......

 

I'm actually struggling to find a modern mineral oil with a rating below 'SL'.........EDIT - I just found a mineral oil with as low a rating as 'SJ'...but that's still 'too high', it's above 'SH'
