2.Is this applicable to FZS600 "2000" model

My advice is leave them unless they really have to be taken off. If you snap a stud you'll be in trouble

1.  Didnt use ay sealant when doing mine, didnt need it.  I Changed the circular copper gaskets at the head and just reused the one on the foot into can.
2.  Applies to all FZS600 (mines a 2003)
3.  not sure where pics are but its all pretty easy to do when you take a look at your bike.
 
didnt snap any studs on mine, did the soaking with WD40 once a day every day for 2 weeks before had though. (just be careful)

I'd get a spare gasket for the header to end can join. The join doesn't always come apart cleanly. If you don't need it keep it till next time

confused :2guns so is the advice to change both head and foot gaskets , or not , or "suck it and see". The default to assume the worst case is usually safest best so assuming this I need copper head gaskets and the footer (to can) join ?

I think it depends on what end can and header combination you have.......when i took off my original end can i totally destroyed the gasket and my Simmi performance can fitted over it nice and tight and then the clamp tightened it up so much that i didn't need a gasket, same app,ied when i got stainless headers........but ive heard of others moaning about the seal on other cans not being good enough.

Used new copper seals for headers- only £6 from Motad, everything undid without prob. I think the end can could seal better but the MOT guy was happy with it
