Geez mine are really abused compared to yours Dave. They get adjusted when I get my tires replaced. Rarely in between. I ride in all weather. It gets lubed a couple of times between tire replacements, but I'm not fanatical about it. I lube it when it looks dry or I realize that I haven't done it in a long time. I use Chain Wax as a lubricant. I never clean it. I ride solo and am easy with take offs and shifting. I don't know why you got a kink in yours, but it would have lasted as long as ours without the kink I'm sure.
Some of the guys on the NC forum said they only got 8,000 miles out of their stock 520 chains. I'm at 22,000 and still going with the same treatment I give the CB chain. I think I've adjusted it once in between tire changes.
