"Question...should I wait to clean and lube the chain till I wash the bike? I think that seems like the logical thing to do."

Yea ive done that, unless the Chain is very DRY looking! Then Wash it anyway b4 you Re lube it!

your Manual says "Chain lube should be done every 400 miles, depending on your riding in Rain/Dirt often"

Chain Adjustment/Slack " should be checked or adjusted every 600 miles"

I heard once your Bike has 600miles, and been adjusted for the First time... your Chain really shouldnt be Loose enuff for a Adjustment again for maybe 800-1,000 miles! I only have 1,134 miles on my bike atm, so ill have too see how the Slack will be @ 1,600 miles.
