clean my chain... hahahahaaaaaaa. 34,000 miles and counting on the OEM chain and i think i have cleaned it 4 times. the bike sits outside in all weather even in the winter without a cover and the chain looks like a rusty mess at the start of each season, a quick once over with chain lube then let the scottoiler do the rest while i ride.

Paraffin is the best chain cleaner money can buy and its reusable once you let it settle out again.

in many years gone by i used to paint on old engine oil after every ride.. spizz that for a game of soldiers, now i just squirt oil into a large touring rez and then keep an eye on it, so far its done 5,000 miles and still has some oil in it.

life is way to short.
