Agreed, that's why i always suggest to people the heavy duty D.I.D. X ring chains because from personal experience they've needed minimal adjustment.
I had 10 years of a riding a shaft drive bike before the Fazer so really wasn't looking forward to dealing with a chain to be honest, but once i got a new chain on i was really pleased with how little maintenance it needed.
A good scrub every few months, but i'd say keeping the chain well lubed is the main priority, especially in winter.
Just keep an eye on it, as long as it's within 30-40mm slack then i just leave it alone.
