Take an oil can and a brush, if the above isn't happening and it has been modded. Oil the brush (don't go mad) brush the chain ensure it's all coated, if the noise goes or quietens down it's a shot chain. Oiling will cause no damage, if he refuses knock him for a set a chain and sprockets, if he won't budge walk away.
Top price means top bike, not squeaks :rolleyes
It's not the lock nut that was first thing I checked have had 3 high mileage fazers and never had one loosen, I'm beginning to think that's another urban myth!
