I take it the bike is not in a garage if WD40 did not protect it?
What you describe can be normal if running the bike in gear on the centre stand at tick over since the chain is not under load.
The fazer runs the chain to what appears to many as loose and they over tighten it which can cause the noise you describe.
Reputable dealers can foc up also, and mind you, there a a few reputable dealers I know, that I would not let service a wheelbarow :eek
If the garage you used cannot tighten a few bolts I would doubt their ability to set the chain tension correctly :lol
Put the bike on the centre stand, turn the rear wheel to locate the tightest part of the chain.
Now push the chain up against rubber swinging arm protector, it should just touch it.
If not the chain is to tight and you need to adjust it
If a tight chain is the cause then readjusting as above should solve the issue
