Hey! How old is the chain and how many miles on it? Have you taken the front sprocket cover off? The first thing to check on the Fazer is that the front sprocket nut is still attached as they have a tendency to come loose and fall off due to not having enough threads. It's one of the few faults that Fazers have. So take the front sprocket cover off and have a look. If the nut is still there and tight check the depth of it. There's a upgraded nut which I think is 12mm deep whereas the old one is 9mm (could be wrong on those sizes). If you've got the smaller nut then you should think about replacing it with the larger one.
Next check every individual link in the chain. They can dry out and become stiff or sieze. You can often hear this as a clunck clunck sound and feel it in the foot pegs. Next thing to check is the tension, it should be 30-40mm at the tightest point when both wheels are on the ground.
