Is that that yamalube 15W-30??? with ester ??? i saw that too when i was at Moto GP i asked the yamaha oil guy about it.. he said its good for track but.. your oil change is sooner than a regular oil.. well its pretty much what you need to do anyways after every track or two...

about the oil i know there are two type the 15W-30 and i think the other is.....15W-50 which one you used??

For socal weather, you should be using 10w-40. A lot of racers swear by Shell Rotella oil from Walmart. Only $16 a jug. Its normally Diesel oil but works great. Just make sure you get the BLUE jug. I think its a 5W-40. Its a good replacement since racers like to change oil every or every other race weekend and its cheap.
