Anybody seeing excess oil discharge from the supercharger air inlet boot? I'm not sure how much is normal, but lately mine seems to be leaking enough around the boot that it accumulates on the outside and is dripping a few drops on my garage floor.

This seems to have coincided with my change over to full synthetic oil a few hundred miles before. Before that I ran the break in oil for 160 miles, then a semi synthetic for 350 miles. Didn't see much before, but a little film was present.

Not familiar with this motor. However, every single motorcycle I have owned bleeds some oil when switching to synthetic. Super Tenere being the only exception excluded. As long as your oil level is good In would guess it is not a big deal.
 
I used a synthetic oil when I did my first oil change. I have not noticed anything. I put a few hundred miles on the car after the oil change.
