I don't think that's the case on a 2001. the manual tells you to remove the primary.

I know, I read it, it's just nicer to get other people's input on how they did it.

Since I am this far, it looks like there are some things I "must do" and "should do".
To remove the transmission pulley, will I need to remove the main shaft bearing? if so, I will need a special tool for this? any way around it? Actually, two tools, one to remove and another to install.
Since I am changing the belt, I will need to partially remove the swing arm.
I should replace the starter, especially since it has 50k miles, and I occasionally encounter some knocks when starting.
Replace the necessary seals, gaskets and orings.
So, I need to purchase three tools:
Mainshaft bearing removal tool
Main shaft bearing install tool
Transmission pulley socket
Am I missing anything?
