Would be better to use a quality full synthetic instead. Motul 7100 is very popular but there are other options. I'm thinking about giving the Shell/Ducati oil a try.
Pros: quality full synthetic

I did 100k on Castrol gtx in an f4i plus tens of thousands on other bikes using the same oil. I buy it in bulk and it goes in the whole fleet.
Pros: fine with wet clutches
Mileage: 100000 km
Change the oil again and use Mobil 1 full synthetic and make sure it says V-TWIN on the label.
Pros: full synthetic
I've used Rotella T6 in literally all of my bikes since 2017 because it is cheap and has JASO MA2, it is deisel oil.
Pros: cheap, has JASO MA2
In the rare occasions I get it from there, I use Castrol or Mobil One 5W-30 or 40.
Pros: use this oil
For this reason I run Valvoline 20W-50 VR1 which has high zinc and phosphorus to deal with the extra loads the flat-tappets put on the camshaft vs roller tappets.
Pros: high zinc and phosphorus
Vehicle:
BMW
I like running pennzoil euro platinum 5w40.
Pros: like running this oil
I’ve been using Mobile 1 since I’ve purchased my RAV4-brand new. Now at 160xxx miles with no oil burn. Runs like the day I bought it
Pros: no oil burn, runs great
Vehicle:
Toyota
Mileage: 257495 km
Walmart carries jugs of Castrol Edge SPT 0w40 A3/B4 for much less than quarts at AutoZone
Run it in my R, wife's GTI, and even ran it in a WRX I used to have. It's good oil, the analyses I've sent in over the years don't lie!
Pros: good oil, analyses don't lie
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I usend to run syn 15w50 in my tired old vr6 all year round, it helped with seeping issues, lifter noise and all if that. but the oil pressure would be through the roof during first start. so I'd set aside a few mins in the morning to let the car idle, relax, listen to a song and let it get some heat in it. on a normal day, the star up pressure would be .5 bar past the filter bypass (10 bar), warm idle was 2 and a bit, and everything above 3.5k was back to the bypass.
Pros: helped with seeping, reduced lifter noise
Cons: high oil pressure on start
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
