I would bring the bike up to operating temperature and immediately dump the initial load of oil. There is a lot of junk floating around in there. I change the oil a couple of times in the first hour of running on a fresh motor and usually run Castrol GTX or Kendall GT. After the first few oil changes I switch to the oil I'm going to run .

ok, now that we got that cleared up, back to the original query -- when to go with mobil 1 (or any other synthetic)? right away? couple of yamalube 4 changes first? i'm in the exact same place as cw242, another 1/2 hour on the bike and it's time to dump the oil, just wondering what will go in next, yamalube 4 or mobil1 15w50 NON-EC (the red cap).

EC stands for Energy Conserving. it is a combination of chemicals put into the oil that allows the parts in an engine to spin more freely. you do NOT want that on your wet clutch. hence the requirement by yamaha to use a NON-EC oil. all of those that i've ever listed and used are NON-EC.
