Do you need to clean your chain every time you lube it?

Been looking around online and in the search bar to find the answer to this but not much luck. Do you need to clean the chain before you lube it or can you just lube it and be good to go? via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/9afg16/do_you_need_to_clean_your_chain_every_time_you/?utm_source=ifttt
