Go synthetic.

My dealer -without telling me- used mineral oil at my first service. I
changed the oil myself at 5000km and went to Mobil 1 4-stroke MC oil (not
Triumph badged). Since I changed to synthetic, the gearbox is smoother, the
engine revs freer and quieter.

There may be something to the "engines don't run in fully on synthetic oil"
point of view, but the people who made your engine don't think so.
