The simple and quick way to reset a flashing belt light on a Kawasaki ATV

In this straight to the point video, I'll walk you step by step on how to quickly reset the belt flashing light on your Kawasaki ATV. Remember that the light flashing is an indication that you need to service your ATV and inspect the belt. My ATV is a 2003 model and still runs great , proving that with proper maintenance these machines will last you for many years. I hope this video helps save you time and money.

Perfect video, saved my whole elk hunting trip

J'ai réussi a effectuer la remise a zéro (reset) grâce a votre vidéo, et je vous en suis très reconnaissant, merci. Mon quad : kawasaki kvf360 4x4.

[@MainMatK]

This is one of the best videos I've ever seen. You take the time to move the camera and all. 5 stars.

[@barneybunnell1366]

Took awhile to figure out disconnecting plugs, after awhile of following video exactly, it worked, Thank you for sharing your wisdom

[@tedh7543]

Thanks for the step by step instructions. My light came on while going 40 mph on my 2003 Prarie 650 4X4 yesterday on a gravel road and slowed me quickly to approx. 8 mph. I removed the CVT cover and found my belt was in pretty bad condition so I ordered a new belt and will replace it when it arrives. This video is exactly what I need to reset the light and restore power.

[@powderriver2424]

Your video was most helpful since my 07 650 straight axle Brute is essentially a Prairie with different skin. I found articles regarding light reset and limp mode but your straight to the point simple video is excellent for me and it appears many others.

[@bugsport1974]

Just completed it. Worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@joesabol8652]

Video was perfect since I have the 02 Model. One note - I did this procedure three times - first two didn't work. On the third try, I connected the 2-wire FIRST, and I was off to the races! Great job!!

[@dustinneal1209]

Thank you so much it’s been a whole long time since I messed with my brother‘s Prairie 700 and all the times of working on it. It finally started blinking that belt light and I started scratching my butt on it like what the heck because it was running like crap, and it wasn’t before, thank you for your time and video

[@jamescarlheim4812]

Followed this exactly and worked perfectly. Thank you sir.

[@babtey]

Awesome, I have the same bike with the same issue. I do have to change my belt, then I'll do this reset. Thanks so much for posting.

[@AZTK225]

this should have been the first video i saw a month ago... before i got the carbs out... thank you man i was just about to get it at the scrap yard!!

That was excellent ! Thank you ! Mine is a similar year Arctic Cat 650 with what looks like the exact same Kawasaki 650 power plant.

Great video boss worked on my 2007 kawasaki 360 thanks!!!

[@C8corvetteobsession901]

Was yours going really slow? I just bought a 360 that’s doing this and the lights are blinking. The previous owner thought it was the carb. He had just changed the belt. I bet he didn’t know about this limp mode.

[@SteepClimb]

To open those two four-wire connectors... find the spot with a small slot on the outer connector, on the end where the 4 wires enter the inner connector (the "top" or "front" end). Slip that small screwdriver in as close as you can to the 4 connectors, and use it to lift the locking tab a fraction of an inch. The inner connector is just a little larger than the 4 wires, and has one little wedge sticking up. That little wedge was pushed under a small tab, and that's all that is locking it in place. Ignore all those spots on the outer part of the connectors which are holding other things together. Your goal is under those other pieces.

[@dxksfvya8494]

Thanks, I had forgot how to do that. I have other problem with getting juice to the starter, wiring is messed up some where. Got to find a video on running down wiring. Starter works but got no juice to the steering control box on handle bar.

[@joshmeyer2375]

Thank you

[@brandondimmitt8467]

not sure if youd know. but is this how its done on the kfx 700 v-forces? my belt light stays solid doesnt flash. but was told by previous owner belt was replaced just never too it to have light cleared. i hope it is the same for both. thanks for video sir. god bless!

[@ocam988able]

Thanks for the help. It worked just like you explained. Does this limp mode happen due the sensor going bad or is it an electrical glitch in the system? The belt on my ATV has very little usage and don’t think the belt is bad. Thank you again.

[@jeffadkins3049]

Awesome video hope it works on my kfx 700 i will check

[@brandondimmitt8467]

jeff adkins is it the same?? im also trying to clear light. if you've tried it woulda ya let me know if its a yay or nay. thanks in advance

[@andresjimenez3126]

That worked ?

[@soyfranromerok]

Awesome video, if you still have ATV, can you send me a close picture of the grey and the black connectors. I bought a broken Kawasaki and doesn't have those terminals. Thanks in advance.

[@foniegriffith5267]

I change the wise and it’s still blinking fast at first and the slow so what could I do too fix it

[@POLOAZTECA]

Any tips? I have done this a couple of times and My light still flashing. Did also open the drive cover and belt seem fine and switch was on the on position. I'm getting no luck!

[@geopioneergsxr5357]

Imagine if this happened while you were getting chased by a bear! The light should turn on, but limp mode could put someone in a dangerous or deadly situation.

[@allensharpe429]

do you know of this will work on a kawasaki prairie 360?

[@mallen6629]

I don't have them too wire's. I have Four solenoids hanging there. Mine is supposed to be a 2001 650 Prairie. Need help..

[@waylonmccrae3546]

Very Good Informative Video .... How Often Does This Happen Where You Have To Do A Reset ?? After A Belt Change , Battery Change, Or Just It Randomly Goes Into Limp Mode ?? Also Will This Stop The 4x4 From Engaging When It Goes Into Reset & Limp Mode ?? Thanks ahead for anyone's input !! 😆

[@ryanharris3870]

Every 100 hours. And yes the 4x4 light comes on but It does not engage.

[@tylerrichmond2012]

What dose the gray wire go to

[@russellmorris5343]

Mine doesn’t have a gray plug only black. And I have no reset switch image my drive cover like everyone else seems to have.

[@franciscocruz-lc1nj]

Thanks,also this is how you reset the light on the 2006 if’s 700.

[@Mike-vo2rp]

Thanks do you know what to do to prevent it

[@kevinmccullough4487]

Mine still flashes and won’t rev past this one. Any ideas

[@darryldoesit966]

yes, but that still does not resolve the reason why the belt light was on in the first place does it?

[@mreastex61]

Do you have any idea where the large black connection is suppose to go to on the right side in your video. My four wires coming out of it are just loose.

[@wycwby3133]

I don't know where it is supposed to go? Sorry

[@wnewkirk13]

Anyone else know? The previous owner of mine cut them and I can't figure where the other half is...

[@kanepemberton7064]

Chopper Joe did u find out where they go I have the same problem

[@joevenne2132]

need help with some wiring on this kind of quad

[@chancetolbert4852]

Where does the black connector go? I bought used and the wires that go towards the front of bike just hang down and dont seem to go anywhere

[@allofus5604]

One of those wires doesn't go anywhere

[@mikesgarage44]

The wires of both black plugs do not connect to anything they are just taped into the harness it's how they keep the plug there to reset the light. On the newer models it is under the seat. Make sure you turn the key off between steps. If not it won't reset sometimes.

[@ShatteredPerfection]

I replaced my belt today and she went into limp mode. I have done this step and others. I managed to get it off for maybe 3 minutes, I shut her off to get my helmet but when I turned her back on, she was right back into limp mode .... do you have an explanation for this?

[@adammealey6721]

You ever figure out your problem ?? Was the switch tripped ?

[@ShatteredPerfection]

Adam Mealey yes, the switch was tripped. I fiddled with it a bit more and managed tog er her going, worked perfectly since! Now she needs the carb cleaned I figure 😋

I mean kfx 700 thanks
