Put bike on centre stand and look at the lower part of the chain and see if any links are at a slight angle, rather than horizontal.
If they are seized or stiff then that will cause a lumpy feeling on your left foot peg.
Chains will last a long time but only if properly maintained, so if it's been left out in rain a lot, or even worse when the roads are salty during winter then they can rust quite easily unless cleaned and lubed regularly.
Are you sure your chain isn't adjusted too tight as well, that can make them noisy?
If you're gonna buy a new chain then get sprockets as well, they're only a few quid extra in a kit.
