I tried it when I replaced the U-joint, and it seems to work quite well. It
seems that it might drip if the joint-clamps are loose, but I've never seen
that.

Never noticed that in Guzziology. Must give it a try. Does it work?

 It's possible they followed Guzziology's recommendation and added a couple
cc's of gear lube?



Oil probably comes from leaky seal on gearbox output shaft, but some times
it mysteriously creeps up from bevel box. Don't know how. Check levels for
a
 while and see.

Maybe previous owner just thought he'd oil the UJ!

ps. I'd buy a new cable.
