Conversely, while you're changing the belt, it's a good idea to change the swing arm bearings.

Thanks for the replies. I do have the rear tire and fender off anyway so maybe I will just go ahead and replace it. The swingarm dosnt look that hard to take off and I do have a service manual

you need to remove the inner and outer primary plus the primary chain and the clutch pack too. it's not as simple as just removing the swing arm.

And on a high miles/years bike, there are a bunch of "may as well as long as its opened up" items you might want to consider.

Yea I was just flipping through the book and it's a little more involved then I thought. Think I will still do it can't be that bad and even though the miles are low it would be nice to give everything a look
