From Deefer..... Nope the YZF forks are longer and hit the bars, the engine wont fit without major frame surgery as the YZF cylinder slants forward and also has downdraft carbs, To the best of my knowledge there is no easily interchangable engine for an FZS600 with the exception for the 400 fazer but there would be little point in that.

From Deefer..... I have put R1 forks into an FZS before but it is not a straight swap and it is not an easy job. As for modifications the world is your oyster but not without serious work.... Unless of course you are just gonna fit FZS specific stuff. But the one mod I highly recommend is the FZS1000 rear caliper (which is virtually bolt on) as the 600 one is shite
