My last chain lasted 21 thousand miles ... so yes, I say that it was worth lubing every weekend. (I probably missed like 3 or 4 weekends due to either not riding or family emergencies.

Lubing your chain once a week gives you the opportunity to look for and find loose bolts, misaligned tires, broken hoses and all sorts of crap.

Your life depends on it.

Can you imagine what would of happened to you if that chain would of locked up that rear tire of yours while you were doing 80 mph on I-495?
