If you live in California during summer time, every 500 miles is probably alright. However, if you live in an area where it rains a lot, or where you get lots of dirt and gunk into your chain during normal riding, you’ll definitely want to clean your chain more often. In practice, I (living in Seattle) tend to clean and lube my daily-rider chain every 100 miles or so.

If you do any more serious riding, however, I’d lube your chain even more often. For instance, I clean and lube my chain after the first session of every track day I go to.
