DID ZVM is what the Gen1 Fazer thou came with as standard.
I replaced mine at 17,000 miles as the front sprocket was shagged. The chain however showed no real signs of wear and there was no measurable stretch compared to the new chain, which again was ZVM.
I reckon it's best to fit high spec chain, you never want one to let go on you, and the good ones do last.
WD40 is probably OK, but I wouldn't use it as I think it contains solvent, it's either that or the propellant in WD40 could potentially harden o-rings. Stick to gear oil, proper chain lub or best of all fit an oiler.
