I use and like the wax lube for my chain. It seems to be less messy and does a good job if you are regular with the lubing. I try to lube every 3 or 4 tanks of gas. If you start hearing rattling noise than it is a good idea to  lube also.

I use Belray lube.  It leaves a white film that makes it easy to see that you covered the whole chain.  I also clean the chain each time prior to lubing with naptha.   Using a spray bottle, the dirt and old lube melt off (kinda messy but really cleans it).  The Magna seems harder to lube than other bikes I have had, especially getting to the inside side plates.  I lube and check tension every 500 miles.
