They make small cans of chain lube/wax too.

Amen.
My daughter has a new KTM Duke 790. We just did a 7,000 mile trip from Montana to Maine and back. (M&Ms). Here's what we did, and we didn't adjust the chain once.
1. Make it to camp / hotel. Before we set up camp/became too comfortable, after things were unpacked, we did chain maintenance.
2. Chain maintenance was someone leaning the bike over using the side stand as a fulcrum (usually me), putting the rear wheel into the air.
3. My daughter would spray DuPont Chain Wax with Teflon on the chain with her left hand as she spun the tire with the right.
That's it. 7, 000 miles, not one chain adjustment, and we probably rode 1,500 miles in the rain. Chain looked brand new (nickle-plated links were still shiny.) Easy-peasy. Not much hassle at all.
Chains are SO good now. I have 15K miles on my Duke 690, and i've yet to adjust the chain. I do the same maintenance deal on this bike, with the exception of using BelRay Blue-Tack chain lube. That stuff makes a mess. The DuPont stuff is awesome. These chains, if you keep them lubed, will last 30K miles easy.
