I may get flamed for this but I'm from the school of thought that less is more. I clean my chain with wd maybe once a year. Have done this on all my bikes. I feel that when lubed it gathers more grime and then grinds it into a paste that wears down the chain/sprocket.
I have 28k on my Triumph and it is time to replace the chain. Sprockets are good. Could I have gotten 30k out of my chain if I cleaned and lubed every month? Perhaps. But I'll spend that time riding. YRMV[/font]
