Fitting the correct nut myself seemed the easiest choice, faffing around and getting it booked in to suit some dealer's timetable would have been far less convenient.
What still amazes me is that when parts suppliers look up the part number on their microfiche and ask for the old nut, Yamaha still provide it instead of automatically sending the upgraded version. Now maybe the part is common to some other bikes that don't require the newer nut, but knowing that if it is for an FZS600 they could end up footing the bill for a final drive shaft replacement they ought at least to query it.
