How do you reset the belt warning light on a Kawasaki 650 Brute force ATV?

Answer 1

First, repair any belt or drive problem to prevent injury, death or major part malfunction and expense.

Here it is word for word from the factory shop manual.


Turn off the ignition switch.
Remove the seat.
Disconnect both sets of 4 pin connectors in the electrical parts case.
Reconnect these 4 pin connectors to their opposite gray to black and black to gray.
Turn on the ignition switch.
Observe the belt check indicator light. (It should be flashing quickly.)
Disconnect the belt switch at the 2 pin connectors above the torque converter cover.
Observe the belt check indicator light. (It should be flashing slowly.)
Let it flash for at least 5 seconds. (More than 5 is ok.)
While observing the belt check indicator light, turn off the ignition switch.
Disconnect the mismatched 4 pin connector sets and reconnect them normally.
Connect the belt switch 2 pin connector.
Turn on the ignition switch.
Confirm that no belt check indicator light is flashing.
Put the connectors back and bend the clamps.

Answer 4

Make sure the battery is charged and connected.
Coming out of the belt cover (right side of engine) is the wire for the belt light switch.
Follow it up and disconnect it.
In that area are 2 other connectors (a gray & a black).
Disconnect them.
Plug the gray into the black and the black into the gray.
Turn on the key.
I forget the exact procedure after that -
Either turn on the key for 5 seconds and then turn it off.
OR turn on the key, wait for the belt light to start flashing, stop flashing, turn on, or turn off.
Then turn off the key and connect all the wires back together properly.

Answer 5

Sounds like you have a serious timing issue, and the "Belt" light might indicate a timing belt. Take it back. If you've only had it for a month, you've definitely got a warranty case.

the warning light is working, its doing its job, you need to replace the belt!
you should of known that when you bought it, and thats a normal wear item that needs replaced often
most guys with belt smokers carry an extra belt and tools with them.
