I lubricate all distributors weekly, if they are being used - daily on long tours.
I have no idea what the bush is made from but I will investigate, if it fails.
In 1992 I was lucky enough to be given a brand new DK4a (it was left in the seat of the RN, by a stranger, whilst parked outside a school I was teaching in) I fitted it and used it - was lovely. After 30k it needed a new bush and some repairs to the bob weights. Such things are (beyond?) rare these days but the newly available unit is cheap, easily replaced and will probably outlive the mileage most will put it through.
Most importantly, nobody is being forced to use them but, of those that do, most enjoy the improvements they offer.
