Mavicwheel maintenance

I have a pair of Ksyrium SL's that are about 5000miles old now.
They are perfect and smooth but was wondering if I should relube the freehub.
I believe the cartridge bearings are maintenance free as I wound the adjuster right off the front wheel and the bearings are fully sealed so I assume the rears will be the same.
I annually relube the cones and freehub on my 8 speed campy winter bike so am used to pawls/springs making a break for freedom, is the Mavic FTS-L hub simple to lube? anything to watch out for?
Cheers all.

You can get at the Mavic service drawings on their site. You'll need the dealer password to get access, but that can be found by Googling 'Mavic dealer password' or similar, and then you'll be in!0
