my bike is a kfx700,04 and i have never changed the clutch belt!! does that affect my performance and in wat way i mean i havent had any problems yet just wondering
thnkz guys

 

Kawi says to check them at 100 hours and this is when your belt light will come on as well. If you have aftermarket springs I would check it more frequently but I also would do this as a precaution with any belt. Belts are relatively inexpensive and its a small price to pay for added reliability in my opinion. Hope this helps and others here may have good tips on this as well.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

well my light hasnt ever turned on but thats very true i should just get it before it comes on!!!! thankz stillv1

 

Just check the belt for any wear or cracking and/or stretching. I havent had to change mine yet either but I dont have 100 hrs on it yet. lol. Its always good to have an extra belt anyway!! Good Luck with your V, mine has, so far, been awesome!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

I change mine before every dune season. It is relatively cheap insurance to prevent a failure out in the middle of nowhere.

I'm not saying that you need to neccessarily change it every year, but if you abuse it often, be sure and keep an eye on it. Also, always buy the Factory Replacement belt. The aftermarket belts are nowhere near as good.

 

were can i get a factory replacement belt my dumb light turned on today when i was riding lol what are the chances of that happening man!!!!!!!! lol well ma belt lasted me alot of time its an 04 lol so i mean it deserved to go lol haha

 

hey another quick question for you RPM how did u paint ur bike all black did u do it yourself because mine is green but its fadding quick and im looking to paint it another color like ummm well idnt know yet lol thankz you guys for the help

 

You can get a factory belt from any dealer or a place like Ron Ayers.

We used a 3 step method from 3M. If you do it right, it will bond to the plastic and be as durable as anything. My quad started out with full plastics and Flames. It is now cut down to just about nothing and even from cutting it down, the paint has never flaked or chipped.

 

man ur bike looks great!!!!!it looks like it can really smash other bikes!!!!!!!!!!!lol so its some type pf process you have to do so it can last long without flaking or chipping you have to sand the plastics down right??sorry for so many QuestionS!!!!

 

You have to scuff the plastic and then just follow the directions 3M lays out for their Plastic Painting Kit. It includes a cleaner, a prep and an adheision treatment. We used a basecoat clearcoat paint with a flex addative in the clear much like you would to paint plastic bumpers on cars.

The paint on my quad is 3 years old and I beat the crap out of it. I cut the flames off because I cracked the plastic from bouncing it off trees. The paint never flaked or chipped off even when the plactic cracked. The nice thing is, with it being paint, you can buff out any most flaws.
