I'm sure on the 600, the alternate loading on the sprocket :rollin contributes to the nut coming undone and the sprocket falling off! :eek
The gear box is still all cogs and dogs and the closer you match the speed of these two shafts the smoother it will change.
Cruise along the motorway, and toggle through gears 3-5. put a really light pressure on the gear lever and without using the clutch just change the throttle position and you'll find at certain points the bike will effortlessly just change gear on it's own. Give it a little more throttle to go down through the gears and a little less when changing up... I found this out when my left hand was preoccupied using my satnav, or trying to block the sun off the screen so I could see it. :rolleyes :'(
