I do oil every 2500, primary 5000 and trans 10000. Why, I don't know? The primary at 5000 probably because I'm in there anyway with the clutch adjustment. As far as the belt and sprocket goes, I just look at them both first to make sure everything's ok. Then I'll adjust the belt tension using the HD tool to get it right. I always use a torque wrench on the rear axle also. Procedure is in the owners manual I beleive. It's pretty easy.
