The only mention of u-joint care I see in Guzziology is to "add an ounce (30 cc) of gear lube to the area around the big-twin u-joint." "This won't lube the sealed u-joint but will keep the seals moist, ward off moisture damage, and let me know when the boot has failed by causing a big messy leak." Above that he does mention "removing the u-joint every other winter or so for a thorough servicing." By that he means disassembly, cleaning, relubing and reassembly. Cheers,

If you read carefully, you'll find that in order to dissassemble, you have
to destroy the bearing cup. Eldo U joints are NOT designed for
dissassembly/reassembly.
