I just got in on the topic, so may misunderstand, but I have known of people
actually putting a lightweight gear oil in the boot. Thought being that it
doesn't hurt anything, and will let you know if you get a tear or any small
holes in the boot (via oil drip) potentially compromising the integrity of
the U joint protection. I think Hunter's explanation holds true as far as
the benefits of doing this, but I know several long time Guzzi guys that
have done this as well. Just a thought of what you might be seeing.
