I don't know if this suggestion would be suitable for a Gen2 Fazer, but made the job a piece of piss on my Gen 1.
I got 2 lengths of thin cord. Tied one on the clutch end and one on the handlebar end. Pulled the clutch end through the frame and untied the cord. Then pulled the clutch end down through the frame and untied that length of cord. The old cable is now off the bike leaving 2 lengths of cord threaded through the cable run. Retie the cord to the clutch end and pull it through the frame, and repeat with the lever end, so the cable takes the exact route that the original did. If this is no help, sorry for the intrusion....I'll get my coat
I really really need one for my -08, WHEN can i have it??

Awww. did I hurt your Gen 1 feelings? Bless. Everything I've ever read about the Gen1 is it's more sedate. I therefore prefer the Gen2No, with an engine based on the original R1, it's not remotely boring: Voted world's best Streetbike 2004 as per CycleWorld - https://www.cycleworld.com/why-original-yamaha-fz1-was-so-damn-good/
The FZ1 is great and those that say otherwise have either never ridden one or when they did, they didn't actually 'RIDE' it.
I've never had an FZS, so I can't compare, but everything I read says they are for a more relaxed (for me this should read boring) ride.
But the OP was asking if the updated FZ1 would make a good commuter - compared to the original model, it won't.
