Yes, word of advice get a manual. Belts are more than just belts. You can't pinch them new, tension is very important. You will have to remove outer primary cover, clutch, compensator,primary chain, and rear wheel. Not a ten minute job.

Because the belt has to go over and under the bolt of the swingarm.

Hey Dagump, do you know a shortcut? The book says to remove swingarm. If theres a shorter way to do it w/o wrecking the new belt thats way better than going thru all that work. Do tell.
