I'd definitely shop around.
I don't know if Yamaha has allowed a realistic time for the task. If they have, and your dealer is admitting they aren't able to do it in the specified time, then maybe his mechanic isn't that good.
I've not heard of anyone getting charged for extra hours, but there have been plenty of tales of slow jobs which implies that workshops are only working on it when no other jobs are available.
So the choice may be between a slow job or one for which you'll have to stump up some extra cash.
My choice was to weld the nut onto the shaft myself and I ran it like that for about 50,000 miles before I swapped the engine.
