Been reading alot about how the reduced levels of ZDDP in all the oils nowdays is bad for older engines with flat tappet lifters. I know there are additives you can put in. Also alot of guys are running Shell Rotella T in their bikes because of their additive package. Kinda curious what everyone is running.
