Might be worth whipping the sprocket cover off any FZS600 you go to look at just to check the condition... but even if it's been bodged and the nut's welded on it's not that big a deal to grind the weld away at c&s replacement time, I ran mine for years like that.
Thanks for the reply. The bike I am interested in is a fair distance away (Surrey, and I'm in Ayrshire!) so it might not happen unless I can figure out a way of getting down there to see it before someone beats me to it. Not going to be buying blind and having it delivered.
