You're not wrong, but the seals are not exactly perfect on
chains. You clean them to keep the crud from building up
and then being forced past the seals.
You should use something like Maxima Chain Lube to
soften the abuse that chains receive as they spin around
those hardened steel countershaft sprokets.
If you take a short ride with a dry chain, and then clean
and lube the chain properly, you will hear and feel the difference.
WD-40 is not recommended for cleaning chains because
the solvent may not be compatible with the seals within the chain.
But I've used it for years for cleaning chains and never had any trouble.

The belray stuff flings like mad on my bike, but maybe that's because I just spray it on and I'm done...
This is good information since I didn't catch the last thread. I would go out and clean my nasty, thick, black-grime covered chain but I'm getting a new one shortly so fuggit.

I'm one that doesn't buy into the "WD-40 kills o-rings" claim. The MSDS on WD-40 lists that it's primary ingredient is an aliphaltic distilate which basically means something very similiar to or maybe even Kerosene.
All I can say about that is that my last chain never saw a single drop of lube for it's whole life...18K miles and I changed it... all free links with all of the o-rings in place and looking good. Turns out the spec Yamaha provided for chain stretch was so conservative that even my new OEM chain exceeded the wear spec out of the box.
