Kaw Brute Force

[98slushbox]

I was wondering if anyone has ever changed a belt on brute force 750 before? I changed mine today and started it up and there is a belt light on the handle bar control display and its flashing. Have no idea what it could be.

if it is like the prairie, there are 2 4 pin connectors (on mine, they are at the top of the motor above the belt case) that must be switched between each other and then the key turned on. after like 4 secs the flashing will increase to a faster rate. turn it off, then switch connectors back and turn it back on.



Hope that helps...

I've experienced the same thing on the KVF 700. I'd think the BF 750 would be the same. Good Luck!

Here's some pics that may help. The first two pics are from the 650 and 750 Brute Force. Look under your seat first and see if you have what's in the first two pics. If those connectors are not there, look for the other connectors down around the petcock.



On the connectors under the seat, take the gray cap off, disconnect the black connector and plug the gray connector in, and then turn the ignition on for about 7-10 seconds. Turn the switch off and reconnect the two black connectors, replace the gray cap, and stow everything back the way it was.



If your connectors are beside the petcock, disconnect the 2-pin connector and leave it disconnected, disconnect the black 4-pin connector and the gray 4-pin connector and cross connect them, and turn the ignition switch on for 7-10 seconds. Turn the switch off and reconnect all the connectors the way they should be.



If the belt light comes on again after performing this procedure, do it again, but this time while you have the switch on, tap lightly on the solenoid in the fourth pic. If this doesn't do the trick, then you will have to replace the engine cover with the solenoid made on it.

Bigpapa,

Your the man! It corrected my problem. The second instructions applied for me. I sure didnt want to have to go to the dealership. As hard as i ride, this will be needed in the future. thanks again. If you go to Indy next weekend i'll buy you a beer or a lap dance at the titty bar

If you know of anyone needing a big tire and wheel kit for one of these i'm selling mine. Their 26x12x12 dirt devil X/T's on like 10" aftermarket aluminum wheels. thanks
