i have a 02 650 with 4600km i've ben having belt problems so kawasaki put a new clutch and new belt on my bike,,,,,, well i did;nt go 75km and my belt was sliping so bad that i had to be towed ,,,,,, can anybody help....

 

Maybe they have the belt way too loose, but I've never seen a belt so loose that you would have to get towed. Did it work okay when you first got it back? You didn't sink it in water since you got it back, did you? What are your exact symptoms, and is the engine running okay? Just curious - what happened to the first clutch and belt, and did they replace it under warranty? (Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get to the bottom of the problem).

 

hi i went throught 3 belts in 4600km and my dealer couldent find the prob,,, so they replaced the clutch and belt to solve my prob ... and no i did'nt put it in water , i was riding on groomed trails for bike's that we have here....

 

Destand33, since you are from Newbrunswick I would suggest you take it to Duguays sales and service in Amhearst to get it fixed right.
If I need any service done that I cant handle myself I travel the extra 200 kms to get my toy to these guys because they really know their stuff.

 

Also get the black spring and have them install it at the same time.

 

Again, did it work okay when you first got it back? If it did, maybe a bolt has backed out of one of the clutches.

 

Your lucky, I been through 3 belts in 1600 miles. Dealer didn't know sh%t about the clutch and belt.
Nyroc did. Fixed my problem through his web site myself.Text

 

Find a dealer that KNOWS how to set up a belt. A lot of these clowns in my area DO NOT know how to service a drive belt! The 3 dealers that I checked with didn't even STOCK shims for belt adjustment! When I asked one of them "How do you service your new units that are under warranty?". I was told: "Oh, we've never had to adjust a belt". I am thinking, YEAH,RIGHT. Get another dealer to fix it.
