=0AI suspect motorcycle oil is probably now difficient in ZDDP
(anti scuff agent needed if the valve gear, dog clutch et
c is to survive), but apparently now depleted because it poi
sons catalytic converters. Yes, some bikes do have those (eg
BMW). =0AZDDP is certainly depleted in modern car oil and it
's possible (for use with older engines) to buy the stuff
separately as an additive.=0A=0AI started with good quality m/c
oil but gave it up because the dog clutch used to screech
(you here that alot on shutdown of many Rotaxes). That issue
dissappeared as soon as I used the Shell Rotax stuff.=0A=0A
