hey all i am new here.

I am having problems with my toy. I have a 06 650 v2 2500 miles its a auto trans. my problem is when you start out in hi or low its like the belt is slipping the moter revs up but dont go very well, once it is moving then all is ok. any one have any ideas where to start.

thanks

 

sounds like your belt is junk. i would just buy a new belt and take some sand paper and roughen up the clutches a little bit as it will take the burnt rubber off and then let the new belt grip better, when you put the new belt on make sure that where it says kawasaki on the belt you can read it and it isn't backwards. it is a pain to get the old belt off so i just take the grinder and cut it off. also there are different springs you can use to help tighten the belt up but in 06 they were better then my 04. the kawasaki belt system can be very tempermental.

 

i ordered a new belt and a clutch kit hope it fixes all the problems. I do a lot of pulling and pushing snow the dealer said it will gear it down and fix belt problems. thanks for the reply

 

How did you make out, was it the belt?

 

new belt new clutch kit runs better than new belt 80.00 clutch kit 80.00 40.00 labor.

 

Welcome to the forums i looked at the 2006 650 v2 when i was buying my first new quad , i ended up buying the 2006 Arctic Cat 400 FIS Auto 4x4 with the Suzuki 376cc engine and Suzuki Duramatic belt driven clutch ; main reason i choose the 400 was i didn't want a liquid cooled quad for my kind of riding it was just more maintain.

If i had snow to plow and work to do on say a farm or just a climit/location wit lot's of snow to plow in winter i woild've gone bigger , the 2005 AC 650 v2's had a gearing problem whitch was taken care of by the Dealership's and by 2006 the problem was fixed at the factory ; there were several thread's about the importance of running them in low gear when towing trailor's and plowing / also use low when riding under 40 MPH .

Other than that everyone who owned the 650 v2 were well sattified with them , glad to hear you have it fixed if tou use low gear when ypu're running under 40 MPH you should more mile's from the new belt ; enjoy your ride .
