Went to the mechanic. Bad news, he thinks the chain needs replacing. He also says, that you need to replace the tensioner and head gasket. Which means 400+++ euros with head gasket alone being 200 euros. Ill try to call different people and see what they can make it work.
I smell a rat a big rat here it's possible your tensioner/chain has gone but at only 40km doubtful, the head gasket has nothing to do with that noise. If you brought the bike to me I'd reset the tensioner first, at worse replace it, if that didn't solve it then you'd be looking at a cam chain replacement.
The head gasket is fine I've never known an OE one to fail on a Fazer ever!
Take it elsewhere somewhere others recommend, this guy/shop is just looking at your money. They'll more than likely reset the tensioner keep it for a few days and give it back telling you they done all the work. It's a very very common occurrence these days, why it's easy money :evil

Same here, seemed a little strange why you should replace the head gasket when you can just use a breaking chain(whatever its called). Ill look around, aint paying 400-500 euros for a bike this old.
