Hi Jim,
         I use Shell M which I have had no trouble getting from Motorcycle Accessory Supermarket @ Liverpool.

Try this mob in Sydney and ask for Angelo Dellis for well priced bike oils..

You can only use an oil that is soluble in Methanol (wood Alcohol) like Castor oil, Castrol R30 or R40 for air cooled bikes, Shell M might be available.

Also buy your methanol from http://www.shiredragracing.com.au/f2R.htm but it is only sold in 20 litre drums.
I think VP have it in 20 litres.
