Default Synthetic Motor Oil 2009 Ninja 250 R

I am @ 1589 miles on my 09 Ninja 250. I was thinking about starting to use Synthetic Oil. Any thoughts on this and would it increase the engine life and delay the valve job.

Thanks in advance.

VM: hit the search button for this question.

But using a motorcycle synthetic oil is a must, not the car stuff. Because your wet clutch will hate you for that mistake.

I am an Amsoil synthetic aholic for my rides.

No I know better than to use car oil, I have been using valvoline dyno motorcyle oil since the service. Anyway thanks dude. Im sure the Amsoil will work great.
