One, two free, floor!
ditto here. No cleany, last chain lasted 65 to 70 thousand k's with a quick quirt of lube every 1,000 kms.
(yes - true). I think I was lucky with the chain and sprockets, but I also subscribe to the "a little gunk on the chain keeps the rest out" theory.

So long as it runs well and is lubed... who cares what it looks like.
It is, after all, a funtional part rather than an aesthetic part.

To do something well is so worth while that to die trying to it better cannot be foolhardy. It would be a waste of a life to do nothing with ones ability, for I feel life is not measured in achievement, not in years alone. BRUCE MCLAREN

My next question is I have a habit of cleaning my chain almost everyweek with kerosene.....is that bad for the chain? Am I over-cleaning it?

I took viffer's advice and cleaned my chain with kerosene this evening.
Looks brand-spankin' new.
Plus my flatmate told me that I now smell like kerosene.
Positives on all fronts.

All ever do is use Castrol Chain Oil from the spray can
Spray after every 200km or so, no need to clean the shit just flies off.
The chain seems to be in very good order.
I guess a chain oiler would be a good idea, but Suzuki say you dont need them.
Just a lube every 1000km? Good enough for me

suzzuki don't know what they're talking about. A scott oiler will increase a chains lifetime by at lease 50000k. they garantee it

Lol so doing 250+ out on the Coromandel is "cleaning your chain?"
Not too sure how well that would hold up in court....

And dont forget to take your front sprocket cover off and clean out all the accumulated gunk behind that as well.
