Supposedly what I did was only required for the first use to remove the factory lube, each additional application just requires a drop on each pin and no removal required. It is also possible to do it while on the road.

I hear you though. If it is easy enough to remove and replace the chain, why not? I just never did the hot wax thing. For that matter I was always bad about doing any maintenance.
