It's all in here and very easy.

But should check the belt and adjust it too, saves having problems down the road.

I have a Twin Peaks, it is a Kawi made Suzuki, it is basically the same proceedure.

Turn OFF the ignition, You may or may not have to remove the air duct boot on the torque converter cover, (a black rubber boot located on the right hand side of the bike), it has a clamp on top and bottom. I'm not sure how your setup is. You should be able to get at the plugs without removing the boot. You will come to that later.
1) Look up under by the fuel shut off, and you will see two 4-pin connectors (plugs), one black and one gray.
2) Disconnect both sets of 4-pin connectors, and reconnect them to their opposite connectors. Black to Gray & Gray to Black. You should be able bend back 2 tabs holding the wires up, to have easy access to the connectors. You can than bring the connectors out to you.
3) Turn ON the ignition
4) Disconnect the Belt Switch at the 2-pin connector. This is where the rubber air duct boot may have to be removed.
On the top of the torque converter cover (the black plastic sidecase on the right hand side, where the rubber boot is.) there is a black box with 2 wires coming out of the top. Follow these 2 wires with your hand until you come to the 2-pin connector. If you can access the connector without removing the boot then do so, if not you will have to remove th boot.
5) Observe the belt check indicator light, it should be flashing.
Let it flash for at least 5 seconds, more than 5 seconds is ok.
Turn OFF the ignition.
(I have to do step #5 twice, but I think you only have to do it once.) Try step #5 once and if it doesn't reset, then repeat steps 2-4 and then do step #5 twice
6) Reconnect the 2-pin connector.
7) disconnect the mismatched 4-pin connectors (Black to gray & Gray to Black), and connect them normally(black to black and gray to gray).
8) Turn ON ignition. Confirm that no belt check indicator light is flashing. Put the connectors back and bend the clamps.
9) Replace air duct boot, if it had to be removed.

It is a simple proceedure.

Good Luck.

perfect instructions from bubba zoomy. on my brute 650, i had to take the plastic off that is around the airbox(also holds the battery). i couldn't get to the 4 pin connectors, it also made getting to the 2 pin connectors easier........ just a heads up, every 110 hours you'll have to do this.(mine came on at 110 hours). i have 2 brutes and both came on at 110.....i had to do it at 220 hours for the second time on one of them so far.


i wasn't aware the light would come on at 110 hours...13 of us took a trip to canada to ride for a week. half way through the trip(out in the bush of course) the light came on. i started freaking out. oh no what am i gonna do ya know.we stopped had a beer inspecterd the belt said screw it kept on riding.fixed it when we got back. no phone service to call a dealer. checked the manual though and was very relieved.

like bubba said. very easy procedure.

Would this be the same for the Prairie 360?
