Changed my fluids pre first ride of this season, pulled the trans dip stick and found this pink opaque fluid,drained and replaced with  syn 3, "factory fluid" i know a lot of you on here dislike syn3, so what do you reccomend ,as a replacement?

That looks like Red Line Heavy Duty Shockproof transmission lube.  One of the best available.  Did you buy the bike used?

   I agree, looks like Red Line, and is good lube.

Yea got it last april from original owner with 2600 miles on it, you think i should put red line back in it or is syn3 ok?

The Red Line gear lube is far superior to having motor oil in there.

I am going to finish the 1k with the factory Syn3 and then switch over to Red Line. Had it in my 03 too.

SYN3 is motor oil.  The transmission is a gearbox.  The best approach is to use gear oil in a gearbox.  There are many good choices available to you, Redline Shockproof Heavy is one of them.  Spectro, Amsoil, Mobil1, etc. in 75w90 are also excellent choices.
