I intend to do the same with my BR, but now my dealer says that synthetic oil is fine for BR but that it has to be Honda synthetic oil because of graphite or some other unclear ingredient or reason.

That reminds me of the old saying, if you can dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with BS.
This is one of my pet peeves. It seems Honda must tell their dealers to push Honda oil because more than one dealer has slammed any synthetic oil they don't sell. I know why do it, they make a lot of money off oil and changing it. They get the customer in the shop and they sell them 100's of $$ in worthless (IMO) services.
See, the Power sports dealers rarely can make it selling the machines, people travel 100's of miles to save $100. They make money in the service and parts depts and they try very hard to get you to come back.
