Use decent oil and change it often. It’s fine.

Rotella Gang here. I know I’m not “supposed” to use it.  I haven’t blown one up yet.

I use Rotella T6 in my ZX6R race bike.  It lives over 12000RPM most of the time.  Several thousand track miles and showing no wear.  It will be going in my new-to-me CB550K0 at the next change.

 For oil, I vote yes.
  I have used the high mileage type to help with a gummed up starter clutch in a gl1000, it cleaned it good enough that I stopped worrying about it not starting.
