Yamalube is Motul so either are excellent, other good oils are Castrol and Bardahl. Make sure you get a JASO approved oil and 10/40 is good all year round.

Indeed, the oil a Yamaha dealer would use when servicing your XT is Motul 5100 10w40 semi-synthetic (AKA Yamalube).
Any decent JASO/motorcycle-specific semi-synthetic will be perfectly adequate for your bike. You can also use fully synthetic motorcycle oil, but realistically you're better off using a semi-synthetic and using the saving to fund changing the oil more frequently, say every 5000Km. |
