I thought the the 650 was supposed to automatically go into limp mode at 100 miles, is that correct? Mine has 130 on it now & has yet to go into limp mode. Is that a good thing or bad?

 

No!!! It's not supposed to go into limp mode unless your belt is going bad. The problem with the 04's is that there is some electrical problem that sets it off when there is no belt problem.

 

Has anyone with a 2005 650 gone into limp mode???

 

i believe it is after 100 hours it is supposed to go into limp mode and if you have an 04 buy a dynatek cdi ASAP cause you will start having trouble with the hump mode

 

I'm always in Hump mode![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Does the belt light come on at 100 hours, or does it actually go into limp mode?

 

Now that if funny!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

nice!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Yah,
friggen hilarious if you're a pubescent adolescent at about age 10 or under. What probably is funny is the myriad of objects he does hump: trees, cars, stray dogs, young boys perhaps, since his obvious lack of intellect prohibits him from actually finding something of a feminine gender.
On a lighter note, in answer to my own question to those who may be interested. According to the 2004 650 twin service manual "every 100 hours, the belt indicator light will illuminate to alert for inspection". My mistake, I thought it was 100 miles.

 

That is good to know. I may be in the middle of Windrock, probably on trail 12, when I hit the 100 hour mark. I can handle the light, but don't want anything to do with the limp mode. As for the belt, I believe mine is holding up just fine. Anyone out there have experience with how many hours these belts last? Mine is not slipping or anything. It feels great at about 85 hours.
