I am not quite sure what your question is? It is not that unusual for nut to be loose, held in place by the tab, but I have never heard of the tab breaking before.
I would recommend you change the lot, front and rear sprocket and chain, and get a new locking tab. If you have done it before, then it is a half hour job. If you are handy and get yourself a decent chain breaker, it will take you 1~2 hours the first time. If it makes you feel better, pay some one else to do it.
The 'plastic sides' comment suggests you pobably still have the OEM sprocket which people claim is quieter then after market ones (I never had one so I couldn't say), but it comes at Yamaha prices.
Loads of kits are available on ebay and you get what you pay for, from cheap chinese copies to original OEM kit and everything in between. The OEM stuff is better then the cheap copies, but not (in my opinion) enough better to justify the pice difference.
At the budget end is : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FZS1000-Fazer-...OC:IE:3160 which I have used it, but I prefer to use slightly more upmarket kit when the budget allows such as.
