My first Rubber Side Down post. Please be patient cause I think I will add some complexity to the already tricky problem of appropriately lubing this bike.
There's no Rotella in this country. ZDDP additives are very hard to find here - in fact at this time there's one guy selling his last bottle of Comp Cams on our local ebay, and that's all. I didn't buy it yet because I fear it would be impossible to know the ZDDP content of the API SF/JASO MA oils available, namely Castrol Actevo GP 4T, MOBIL SUPER MOTO 4T 20W50 and maybe a few others. I'm trying to get that from Castrol, but they don't seem cooperative. Mobil doesn't even have a contact page on their web site. I'm using straight Mobil for now.
Now there's this product, made in the USA, that is being advertised here as the top, unrivaled lubrication additive. it's called militec and I wonder if you know of its use in motorcycles. I have this reference, which seems respectable:

A video from the experience is available on Youtube, but there are others still more impressive, such as this one:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlXHwEinv6sIt's in Portuguese, sorry, but then it's almost self explanatory. They perform a dry wear test, then oil is added and after that militec. Perhaps there are similar videos in English. Wow.
Any facts and opinions about my problem, and this product (which some of you may know as a famous gun lubricant) will be very welcome.
