    Hey all
    just wondering how often you guys clean and re-oil your chain because i havent been riding much lately and have been a bit lazy with the chain but i know its a pretty important job... how often is necessary? i guess it depends on how you store your bike and how often you ride it?

    Every second time i fill up the tank, which means every 500km's.
    So i guess the once a week option would be the closest.
