Inner Primary Bearing
Headed over to my Indy's for inner primary bearing inspection/replacement, several seals replaced, and compensator inspection/re-torque. Anything else I should suggest that he look at while he's in there?

General "noisyness" from the left-side clutch/primary area and a small puddle of fluid on my garage floor. Looks like it's leaking from somewhere around the transmission sprocket.

Sounds like you are already considering all the seals involved in the inner primary removal. You have access to several key transmission seals once you get that deep into the bike.
Keep in mind noise in the primary can come from lots of places ... mainly bad bearings, often in the tranny.
I'd drain down the tranny and check the oil and drain plug closely. You could find an issue, or relieve your mind there's issue in the tranny just by checking the oil and plug.

I would look into the Baker inner primary bearing. This is on my list for this winter.

Heck, if you're going that far into it, you might as well replace the Quad seal and main seal on the mainshaft. Also, check you primary bearing race that is on the mainshaft to see if it moved on ya.

You would think that with an 09 that you would get more milage. What kind of fluid were you running?
All this makes me think that I ought to extend my warranty for which there is only 1 week left on, or start doing some major saving for premium parts.
