First go at chain cleaning!?

Having owned a shaft drive yamaha diversion 900, for 20

years, this is my 1st go at chain cleaning. Opted for Motul chain cleaner and motul chain paste. Easier than expected. Bit paranoid at moment, how often do you clean yours this is 300 miles since got it. Motul is good stuff, probably stick with the paste, but use paraffin once the cleaner is empty.
