I had belt failure while riding last PM. The display keeps flashing 2wd and 4 wd alternating. Everything else seems fine. I can still ride at hide speeds. I still go to 2wd and 4wd. I have a belt deflection of at least 1 3/4 inches. I know I have either have to get a new belt(it appears in good shap) or have it shimmed.
Anyone know how to reset the computer to stop the flashing lights?

remove the belt cover it is the square box on the cover, on the inside of the cover it is a hole with about a 1/16 to 1/8 "switch lever" sticking out of it. Just flip it in the other direction and turn on the key and see if your still getting belt failure indication.

I checked it yesterday. It never tripped the switch.

The lights of "4WD" and "2WD" are flashing in alternance and the bike is always in 4wheel drive even if the selective button is move.
I have check the electric connection and every thing seems to be O.K. And when I remove the 10 amp fuse of the "E/G BRK Control" only the light of "2WD" is flashing but the bike is always in 4 wheel drive.

I suspect your 2wd/4wd actuator is messed up somehow. I say this because you said it will always stay in 4wd, plus the information below.

From the owners manual:

Flashing 2wd/4wd indicator lights signal a malfunction of the Kawasaki engine braking control (K-EBC) system or the selectable 2wd/4wd system.
A flashing inteval of 0.5 seconds indicates a malfunction with the 2wd/4wd actuator, a 1 second interval indicates the K-EBC actuator is malfunctioning, a 2 second interval if both actuators are malfunctioning.
Whichever the case, see an authorized Kawasaki dealer for repair.

I'm not sure about your problem, sorry. But how much of an improvement did you get from your exhaust? I am looking to purchase exhaust and want to know the performance gains. With and without the jet kit, if possible.

The HMF slip on pipe is very nice and easy to install. I bought the quiet core but ended up cutting off the washer at the end of the core to make it the racing core. I don't think it is overy loud as others on forums have said. I'm sure I am partial deaf either from loud music or its a learned behavior from being married. The pipe made the bike more responsive and more on the low end. Will have a better assessment of my pipe and the rejetting when my belt deflection is corrected.
