Had the cam chain changed and carbs cleaned and balanced by a mechanic mate. I was first amazed by the quick and relaxed way he put it all apart (it takes some taking things off to get to the carbs and cam chain on the Fazer). I was thinking: "How will he put it back together? Awesome!" Well, he didin't! 
I had to help him put everything back in place. If there's one good thing about it - I got a lot more confidence. Mechanics aren't magicians. Just a bit more experienced, that's all. Same problems, complications, no hats out of their sleaves.
Bike works nice now, pulls better from low revs and no sound of the cam chain. Nice. Will clean brakes, calipers and wait for the spring!

Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
