Keeping it clean is important. Lubricate the roller/sprocket contact. I lube about a 4" length on the inside of the chain with a sticky engine assembly lube or synthetic grease depending on what I have handiest then spin the assembly to spread it around. Works great and there's nothing to fling or catch dirt. I haven't used spray chain lube in decades 
Erics CB has over 10k miles on it and has yet to need a chain adjustment.
Another tip: Many over tighten their chain causing stretch and premature wear. I always run my chains slightly loose. They seem to last longer
