Default Is 15W-50 synthetic blend safe?

Motul 5100. I bought a bunch because they ran out of the 20W-50 Motul 3000, which is just regular oil.

This 5100 stuff is a synthetic blend. Is it safe for this bike? The manual only says 10W or 20W. Doing a complete oil change today. I know you shouldn't go back to regular oil after going to synthetic or a blend.

It'll work just fine, not the best choice in cold weather but it's summer now.

I use the same but in 10/40W.
Pretty much covers the weather 11 months of the year.
