There is no direct replacement Yamaha shock bar the Diversion 900 (allegedly).
The 1000 is a close fit but different spring rates & leverage ratio. Not sure if the remote reservoir would foul something.
The FZS600 shock is not rebuildable unless you go the schrader valve route. I believe one of the site members in Scotland can rebuild it using this method, but I don't have their details - may be somewhere on the old FOC-U site if you search there.
Failing that it's a new rear shock, either Hagon or Nitron @ the cheapest end of the market, & I'd plump for a basic Nitron unit.
