my belt light came on around 102 hrs but nothing has changed as far as the ride is concerned i know the manual says to take to the dealer for service but is there any thing that i can do with out taking it to the stealer imean dealer?...sg777

 

yup, you can handle this as long as the belt is ok. there is a guy that posted that he has an online service manual for the Brute and that will have the light reset procedure. if not, it is in the tech tips at Nyrock's site. if you don't have a service manual, these are the only places i know of on the internet that have the reset procedure.

first you gotta pull the belt cover and inspect the belt, then, if every thing is fine there, reset the light. the reset procedure is quick and easy, but i can't recite it off the top of my head. a search here might turn it up here, too, but i haven,t seen it here.

Hey I've got the same problem with the belt light. Did you ever find out how to make the light go off. This ATV is brand new with approx 5 hours on it. I've removed the cover, identified the switch and everything appears fine. With the light on, it cuts out at 3500 rpm. Any suggestions?

 

GO to the site povided above you and reset the belt. As long as you are using LOW gear when you are supposed to, youll be fine.

 

I have looked for the sites mentioned above with no luck. I have removed the cover and flipped the switch found underneath. I have also unhooked the battery and the wires coming from the belt case etc. with no luck. I am obviously missing something but can't figure it out. Of course the shop is closed today and tomorrow.

 

This is how you reset belt failure light.
1. Make sure ignition switch is off.
2. Remove the Seat.
3. Disconnect both sets of 4 pin connectors, these are the gray and black connectors just infront of the tool pack.
4. Reconnect these 4 pin connectors to their opposite gray to black and black to gray.
5. Turn on the ignition switch.
6. Observe the belt check indicator (It should be flashing quickly).
7. Disconnect the belt switch (this is the 2 pin connector above the torque converter cover).
8. Observe the belt check indicator light (is should be flashing slowly), let it flash for at least 5 seconds.
9. Turn off the ignition switch.
10. Disconnect the mismatched 4 pin connectors and return them to black to black and gray to gray.
11. Connect the belt switch 2 pin connector.
12. Turn on the ignition switch, no belt check indicator light should be flashing.

 

hey thanks for the instructions, my belt lite came on after 545 mi. and no belt damage at all, my brother inlaw was
riding it when it happened. your dir. were exact!!! recon why the lite would come on any way ?>?

 

its supposed to come on at 100 hrs. to remind you to check the belt tension. if within specs do belt light reset procedure. if not shim or replace belt and do light reset procedure. 99% of the time the belt is fine. my friend has about 3000 miles or so on his prairie and the belt is fine. just remember to ride in low range when plowing, deep mud, deep water, deep snow, & steep hill climbs and decents. use high for all normal trail riding. if the brute cant get above 3500 rpms then it is in limp mode and the belt has tripped the toggle switch inside the belt housing. open up the cover and flip the switch and do reset procedure. hope that helps. oh yeah, the belt light doesnt always come on at exactly 100 hrs. its usually a little before or a little after. mine came on at 108 hrs.
