Shaft splines?

At the risk of being redundant... I was wondering if anyone could recommend a sensible interval for lubricating the shaft splines on a Carc. I have done a couple or 3 searches of the website and come up with nothing. There seems to be no mention of it in any technical publications from Guzzi I have in my possesion, and the only mention of it I have found is on a shops website that is located outside of Montreal, they recommend every 10,000 km for all Guzzis. This seems ridiculously low. But who knows I could be talking out my ass. If anyone has any other recommendations I'd be interested to hear. Thanks in advance.FBC
 
Guzzi doesn't recommend lubing the splines. This may be a hold over from the older bikes where oil from the rear drive would make it's way up the shaft. The splines in my opinion don't need much lubrication. If and when I do lube them, I would use a good sticky synthetic grease such as Amsoil https://www.amsoil.com/storefront/glc.aspx. I've used it on BMW splines and it is still there in sufficient quantities 50,000 miles later. I also use this grease as wheel spline lube on the big block rear drives. I usually only need to add grease every 3rd tire change.
