Hey guys my o4 700p has 198 hours on it and 3100kms belt was shimmed at 1200 kms the light is on full time has not flashed at all is that a warning too check the belt or something else going on

 

Might just be that the belt is loose.

 

Thanks goin to jimmy's tommorow night hes goin too check it out u probably know who i mean being from st.stephen

 

Steady ON belt light means that time (every 100 hrs) is up for CVT inspection/maintenance, not just the belt. It is just a reminder light. It has nothing to do with the actual condition of the belt. It will come ON no matter what, every 100 hr interval.

 

There is 198 hours on the bike it never came on the first 100

 

Just reset it by reading the tech tips section on nyrocatv.com

 

Alwayride is correct, there are issues with the belt light reliability. I also have an 04 KFX700, ran the crap out of it for over two years and the belt light never came on (I know it was well over 100 hours). I replaced the belt myself not due to a light or any loss of performance; I was just hopping it up and didn't want a possible used belt to be an issue. So if the light bothers you and there's no loss of performance just reset as Alwayride said....

 

You should always inspect the CVT system and take necessary action (adjust/replace/luburicate) when the belt light is either steady ON or flashing, instead of just resetting it.

How reliable is the belt light itself?
Very reliable - it comes on every 100 hrs of actual running time. The dash meter hour-clock is not, because it counts the igniton on time whether the engine is running or not.

 

Hey guys just thought i would let u know the belt was toast not many miles on the belt but i smoked it a couple times pulling my buddies HONDA out

 

Were you using low gear when you were supposed too?
