I'm not really an expert but off the top of my head I would say change the shaft oil at 1000 miles (when the bike is new), then every 12k miles after that. You also will prolly have to clean and grease the splines every time you remove the rear wheel, and keep your eye out for any leaks from the shaft housing. The housing seals should be changed when they leak, which is a failrly painless task (but still quite involved).
