Yes it is possible to remove both the drive and driven assemblies w/o engine removal. they are similar to the way you set up a rear axle, bearing pre-load, back lash and tooth contact patterns.

Ok, new info:
I came home and decided to immediately check the driveshaft bolt that is so common for breaking, and it was broken. I removed what components were necessary to remove the shaft and boot, and then proceeded to remove the driven gear housing (what a bitch, you have to pull 3 motor mounts to get the damn thing off). The driven gear shows some wear, but is still useable. The drive gear on the other hand, is completely wasted, several missing and jagged teeth. Here is where im stuck. I removed the side cover and drained the secondary drive fluid. There is a square plate right above the drain plug with 4 bolts holding it on which certainly appears to be the access panel to the drive gear, however, i can only get it out about 1/2 an inch and then it stops. ive pryed pretty hard and im afraid if i pull any harder it will bust. Any ideas?
Also, now that i have found the problem, where do I go from here. I can clean it out without splitting the case as long as i can get the drive gear out, so as far as i can tell i need new drive and driven gears, side cover gasket, rear housing o-ring, driveshaft center bolt, some grease for the wheel bearings and swingarm bearings (which were all in excellent shape btw), and alot of elbow grease. The problem here is im short on cash and im having a hard time stomaching 260 bucks for the gears from bike bandit. Now, i have a shaft drive gs1000 engine that appears to be identical in design and size to the 1100. Will the gears from this motor swap to mine?
Thanks in advance guys, ive made far more progress thanks to the help in this forum than i would have on my own.

I don't have an 1100 shop manual, but my 850 manual says drain lube, remove the four bolts then remove the drive gear assembly. is there possibly a broken tooth that may have wedged behind the gear, not allowing the assembly to be removed? the round disk in the center of the assembly is a cover. remove it and try turning the gear.

it appears that its SUPPOSED to come out like that, it just didnt want to. Im very busy right now as im planning for a wedding, however, im gonna TRY to get back out in the garage and get the gear out tomorrow. the round disc in the center is almost rubbery and didnt want to come out, but if its supposed to, then maybe ill just pry/scrape it out so that i can see whats behind it.
