It should be readily available at most auto parts stores. One of these days I may even remember to put some on mine.
I believe every brand has their testaments to some odd engineering, (Including Rolls Royce, who likes to layer in components 5 or more parts deep.) For instance, Harley belts work great, that is, until a small chunk of stone gets imbedded into them. Some Harley kick stands work exactly as stone transfer spoons, scooping & then dumping fine sand & gravel directly onto the precision side of the belts. As we know, changing a drive belt = pulling the rear wheel, as one can't split a belt like a chain link.
