Yes it is, as long as it also has the designation JASO-AM or AM2, or SAE SF or SG. This specification means that the oil is suitable for motorcycles. There is great difference of opinion among motorcycle drivers as to which kind of mootorcycle oil is best. Don't use ordinary car engine oil in a motorcycle if you can help it and then only for a short period.

What kind of oil for a Yamaha Kodiak?
Yamaha recommends 20W40. You can get some at O'reilly auto parts for sure maybe any parts house. You need to be careful to use motorcycle oil or heavy duty diesel oil in it, not car oil. Motorcycles use the same supply of oil for their engines and their transmissions, so it sees really hard service. Motorcycle oil and heavy duty diesel oil are made for things that chew up the polymers in oil...like motorcycle transmissions.
