outer primary, compensator and clutch come off, then inner primary.
then rear wheels, shocks and swingarm.
belt on,
swingarm on, shocks and wheel too.
then inner primary, clutch and comp sprocket
then outer primary cover.
fluids and adjust everything.
It can be done with the manual and hand tools- in fact air impact tools should not be used on the comp sprocket or clutch nut ( left hand thread !) as the impacts can cause damage

jrrobinson, I don't know about some of the folks around here but $400 bucks is a lot to me. I'd have to tackle the job mysolf right now or not ride for a couple months. Cash is tight, and the bank acount is in trouble these days. I'm looking at possiblity of selling bike just to keep the house. If money tight the job can be done, but you do need the manual and a good sturdy MC jack. Do the searchhere on the forum and get any extra help you need, but don't even think of starting with out the book in front of you and read through the whole procedure three or four times.

Read the manual, search the forum, and if you have any specific questions, just come in here and ask. You likely will run into an issue or too that might throw you off track a bit, but take your time, and don't lose your patience. Haste makes waste!!
