Fazer FZS is my first big bike too after passing my test last year. Found 1st to 2nd a very clunky experience but slowly refined the change by changing 'quickly'. It seemed to work for me.Bike excellent in pretty much 3rd all the way to 6th although a horror on the motorway. Other than that i'm a 6ft 4" lump and i've literally hours of pleasurable & comfortable riding.
If chain is a bit snatchy when pulling off then it probably needs tightening. Don't think the sprocket cover gasket really matters but you can order one for a couple of quid if you're a perfectionist. Sprocket nut can be done by dealer but you will probably need to quote the service note reference as they may deny all knowledge. Unfortunately I don't know what it is but it's on at least one thread on here.
Just seen this ref the chain.If you are talking about the chain being a little jumpy when you have the bike on the main stand in first gear ie for lubing up the chain...then that is normal........just not if you are riding it in first gear.
