My last gsxr 1000 did 30k km before it died.adjusted chain once in 30k kms. Cleaned chain with kerosene.
Busa has 15k km no chain adjustment. Lubed 3 times and cleaned with kero twice.
On my off road bike no lube.maybe clean with kero sometimes.
I try to lube around 1000 km on a trip as its easier than cleaning with kerosene but does not happen.
Guess if chain/ sprockets are clean it reduces frictional wear.
Modern chains apparently have sealed in lube like bearings so not much is going in.
I guess whatever floats u r boat.
