exactly, i remove the chain once a month, give it a proper clean, put it back and it goes back to being smooth as ever! its the grit which builds up on the chain that can eventualy wear it down.
It still stretches though... the more money you spend on a chain the longer it takes to stretch!
Z510's last about 5-6 months of riding. If you think there is nothing wrong you should get it checked with a chain checker. If it's stretched you wont really know with out doing this, it will also start to wear down the teeth on your sprocket and chainring, before you know it... new drive train is in order.
