Default Oil Flow

Does anyone know how to increase oil flow to the camshaft and rockers on a scrambler 500, if it is possible.

I am using the Polaris engine oil right now. I asked because someone mentioned in another post, the reason for undue wear on the camshaft is because there is not a good flow of oil to the cam and rockers.

Well my 03 had a pile of hours on it and I never had a problem. Before I traded it I checked the valve clearence and it was still in spec, So I would suggest changing the oil on a regular basis and use a good oil, like Polaris
