I've had my '08 for 9 days now, right around 750 miles. When I was getting ready to drive it off the lot the technician said the chain came waxed from the factory and that I wouldn't need to touch it for a long time. He didn't really specify what a long time was though. I've checked the chain a couple times so far and it's starting to look a little grungy but I'm coming off a shaft drive so I don't really know much about it and how it should look. I could probably post up some pictures a little later if that might help. I had the bike in for it's first service on Saturday and they didn't say anything about it, but it was a different tech than the one who did the set-up when I bought it.
At any rate, just curious on a new bike, when do you start thinking about chain maintenance?
