What are your concern? I can’t see why not as it is Jaso MA2 and API SN.

My concern is about corrosion due to acidic byproducts, race oils are supposed to have lower levels of detergents and dispersents, (wich inhibits corrosion) I'm wondering what kind of OCI I can safely run with that TBN of 10.
 
Why is TBN your primary concern? Is your fuel of poor quality (high sulfur)?

What does your owner’s manual say for oil requirements?
 
TBN of 10 is a great number to start with. Using M1 10w40 4T or M1 20w50 V-Twin, my UOA’s are in the mid-6’s for TBN after 5,000 miles. Surely I don’t see a problem with using that oil.
 
this looks like an oil for off road application.
I quieried (I believe it was AMSoil) about the difference between road & off road versions of the same line of oil. The answer was the off road it formulated to provide better lubrication in off road applications: clutch feel, slow crawls, long idles and off course the long engine high temp when you are going slowly.
I personnaly would not worry about TBN 10 but more about the frequency of oil change since it is a race oil.
Why not drop an email to the company and ask them about it?
