A few questions
What mileage is on the engine?
Is the tensioner working correctly? They rarely fail but can stick from lack of use (Rust). Does it move in and out freely with the ratchet off the splines. Are all the pieces including the ball bearing back in the correct order?
Were all the valve clearances set correctly and the cam shaft caps put back in the correct positions
Does the chain have the right number of links? 130 incuding the soft link, it would not be the first time I have seen somebody fit the wrong length chain.
I think you will have to recheck everthing metodically even down to counting the number of links.
The only thing I came accross many years ago on a honda which caused the chain to rattle after installing a brand new one was a damper which had gone soft., but I have never heard of it happening on a fazer.
