Yes it's walked in , I didn't see it at first till was pointed out. There should be a gap between race and gear to put puller on. So you will need the puller. Baker has a Utube to bump the shaft to get gap back to get puller on. I didn't have to do that though. If you get the bearing upgrade you don't need the install tool. That's what I did , Baker upgrade bearing, Jim's also makes one that can get from J&p.

you don't need any of those tools unless u want to replace the seal that's in the main gear or change the primary bearing, also if u have impact to break the read loctite on big nut. Just have in gear with two by four in front of rear tire. The rag thing is for the clutch & comp nuts. The seal inside the gear looks ok & bearing.
Oooops, wrong poster. HEY ROAD STAR.... LOL

I did the Baker master rebuild kit for 5 speed. If I had it to do over I would get the Baker shift kit & shift paw, then Jim's rebuild kit & primary bearing. I had couple things that didn't go smooth with there kit. My arm was loose once but it tightened up ok, the Baker shift arm is nice though.

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?

You say:
" I occasionally encounter some knocks when starting. "
Well if by that you mean starter makes a loud knock noise at times when starting thats a sure sign of the compensator going bad.
But a bad starter & or starter drive clutch makes more of a grinding noise then when going bad then a true " knock " or bang noise.

if you don't have a puller for that race, and without a gap behind it, you'll have a hard time anyway, you can use a grinder to cut the race off the shaft. just work slowly along the top of the race until it is so thin that a blue line appears from the heat. then the race will split when it cools and you hit it lightly with a hammer. then you can just pull it off with your fingers. be careful you don't get too aggressive and grind thru the race.
