Default Synthetic Oil

I'm curious. I have a 2005 C50. Has anyone used synthetic oil in this bike. The owners manual and the service manual don't say anything about not using synthetic, just that the oil must meet certain SAE specifications. Since the same oil is lubraicating the engine, transmissin and clutch are there any precautions, comments good or bad?

Regards,
Dan
