Thinking WD-40 followed by a real chain lube. Any thoughts?

After only 2 rides, the chain needs cleaning/oiling. Oh well, it IS a dirtbike that plays in mud.

Clean the crud off with WD and a rag, use a soft bristle brush(piant brush) to scrub out the nooks-n-crannies. Then hit it with a real lube.

I would suggest a proper chain cleaner. They leave no residue as it evaporates quite quickly and does not harm the X-O rings in the chain. Plus it works a million times better than WD.

Chain cleaner to clean a chain? Brilliant! Haha the things that you don't think of at 2 am... And it's non-ring type, just an FYI.
