This will help save you a lot of money! Glad I could help you out brother!
Dude ik this is an older vid and don't take this as it sounds....love ya bro saved my ass
Great!
Short and to the point. Perfect! Nice that you referenced the manual. Great video!
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
Worked perfect for a 2008 650 Brute Force.There are a few versions depending on year and whether 650 or 750. Thanks a lot!!!
Yes the process can vary from model and year, glad this helped you
Excellent is very well explained The bad thing is that my kawasaki brute force 650 year 2005 only brings 1 connector
Should have 2 of them tucked up under right side above belt cover.
Have 2011,pluged in the fixer plug underseat,un plug wire by Torq.Done Thanks Dude U DA MAN.
AWESOME! Glad this helped make it easy for you and got you rolling again without the light on!
Thank you for an excellently done video, just want I was looking for to fix my light.
Thank you, your video helped my father fix his 4wheeler!
Awesome!
Thanks, your the only one with the manual and you showed the connections very well and to tje point.
I have to do this on my 650 today,the battery died had to get a new one I guess causing the problem.
Do you show how to give oil changes on this prairie 650 and possibly a carb cleaning or rebuild and places to buy parts for them on the enternet.
Absolutely brother, check out my other videos they should be very similar to your prairie that's basically what this is only with brute force plastics and graphics, I have a carb rebuild video I did and a jet kit and exhaust install as well as oil and filter change
Thank you! my 2006 brute force is happy now 👍👍👍
Great!
Great video, simple and to the point. Thanks
You're welcome!
the black and grey plug are they the KEBC Actuator plug and front 4x4 Actuator plugs? my 02 Praire has a different loom i cant find those two plugs black n grey
The plugs go to the KEBC and belt reset switch and those things that involve the belt, that is why they are involved in the reset process.
Thank you so much! We did reset as you showed and the light is out and 4 wheeler is running great now! 😀
glad I could help y'all have fun and be safe.
Hey there - great video. Thanks for posting. Regarding the belt itself, however, what do you do to inspect it and make sure it is good, or replace if necessary?
Check for cracks and inspect it. You can also measure deflection, but that is more complicated. As long as you are not trying to run 30in silverbacks on stock clutch springs like most morons do, you should not have a problem with the belt. Also, whenever driving slowly or on hills or technical tight trails, run it in low range. That will make belt last longer. I have my same belt since 2012. No issues, and I ride a lot, with mud tires, 26in not 30in.
@@KReesethebeast Thank you!
@@Kennyrooo No problem, if you want to see the tires I put on I have a video on installing them. They are great, aggressive tread, and I spin em on dirt with the power of the Brute, never had issues with the belt.
Hello i have the same exact model and year but mine seems to not have the black connector, to do the swap from gray to black and black to grey.
This unit seems to have catch fire on certain parts i dont know if that helps and i dont know how to reset the check belt light without the black connector
If it has been on fire and wires were damaged, that is a tough one. Electrical issues are the worst when it comes to this kind of stuff. I wish I could help.
Thanks for the vid bro!! picked up the same 2005 brute today anything i should look for before hitting the trails
Thanks for watching! Make sure all your fluids are topped off and everything is in good shape, and you should be good to go. Do you still have your KEBC installed? I robs power and a lot of people remove it, I have a video on how to do it, subscribe to my channel and check it out. I could not believe how much more take off power I have once I removed it, I can actually wheelie it pretty easily now. Take care.
that's awesome I just got one of these with no manual I really appreciate this video
I have plenty of other videos on this ATV so be sure to subscribe to my channel and check out my videos they will help save you alot of money!
Thanks for the excellent explanation 👍
hey bro!!. i had solid red belt light. but i still reset it the way you showed on the video.
thanks for help.
Good I'm glad you watched the video. I tried to explain everything regarding the belt light in the video. I'm glad it helped.
Did you switch the black to gray and vice versa because it didn’t look like you did
Watch very closely as I show this and the manual.
Hello,.I just purchased a 2009 Kawaski Brute Force 650i. The actual model number is KVF650F. I'd like to purchase the service manual for it. Other than buying from a Kawaski dealer, can you advise me on where I can purchase the service manual?
That is great! You got a good 4 wheeler. The service manual I bought was used and I got it on eBay for a good deal, much cheaper than buying new from dealer. Check out my other videos as I have several of this atv that you will find helpful and informative! Ride safe brother!
Perfect explanation. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I rode my 750 Brute Force at a trail ride and it drove fine the entire ride. After the ride I was riding it home and something popped and my bike stop pulling. I pulled over, turned it off, look under/around it to see if I could spot the problem by eye but I didn’t. So I started it back up and it wouldn’t move at all (forward or reverse).
I’m looking for opinions on what the problem may be because Im not really a atv expert. Belt? Clutch? I dont know but thanks in advance to any answers shared....
That is most likely your drive belt. I have a video on how to remove the cover on my channel, check it out. They are easy to replace once you get cover off. The video is where I remove the KEBC actuator, which gives you better take off speed and also will make your drive belt last longer. Once you get the cover off, you just slide the belt off and put a new one on. That simple. Even simpler for you, as it sounds like yours is off already. Post back here if you have any questions.
What's the flashing red light on the right? Mine is on too and can't tell what it is
Oil light or belt light?
Much appreciated, Kevin! 🍻
You're welcome!
hey bro !!!! did you happens to have this problem? my 08 brute when i back up if i give some juicy it starts back fire (like a chocking) What might couse that? Any ideas? thanks
you need to hold the override button down.
Thank you It was just what I was looking for!
Wayne Melton glad to helped you out!
Thanks it was that easy.
I am glad it helped you and that was my aim to make it simple so anyone can do it. Thank you for watching.
I had a solid light on. I went through all the steps and it all seemed good. when I reconnect it all back up I still have a solid light. any ideas? I have gone through the steps multiple times.
If you follow the method exactly, it should work fine. It is easy to mess up. Try disconnecting the negative on your battery for a few minutes to let all the electronics reset, and try the method again and be very careful to follow it to the T. Hope this helps.
Worked like a charm thank you
Hey glad this helped you. Please Subscribe to my channel to help me out. Take care.
Thanks K.R.!
You got it!
My issue is just the oil light flashing and won’t turn over, it tries but won’t fire.
Oil light will be on if engine is not on but ignition is because no oil pressure. Are you saying engine WILL turn over, but will just not fire up?
Thanks, great video.
yw
Very helpful top video thanks 👍🏽
Glad it was helpful!
Hey do you know why the 4 wheel traction won't engage with the switch from 2 wheel dr to 4 wheel dr could it be apart of the red light problem.
Buddy, that could be several things. If your KEBC actuator on your belt works, you could swap it with the 4x4 actuator on the front diff as they are the same from my understanding, I have never tried it but that is what I have heard and it makes sense because they are the same. That would be a cheap way to troubleshoot if the actuator is bad, which in most cases it probably is. If your belt light is on your should inspect the belt, replace if needed, and reset the light.
before viewing your video my husband tried to do this. Now the light just blinks and the 4wheeler is backfiring and spits and sputters? Any suggestions?
sounds like it may be in limp mode which can happen if the reset is not done correctly I would disconnect the battery for about 10 minutes then reconnect, then perform the reset as I have done in this video per the manual. I hope this helps, not saying this will fix it but would be the first thing I would do. thanks for watching.
The plug with the 2 yellow on one side and 4 black on the other. Do you know where those 4 black go? My dad called me and said his were hanging out of his, not connected to anything.
Never mind. I'm guessing they are just dead ended in the harness somewhere and they fell out. I just did the reset procedure in this video and it worked! Thanks
awesome glad you got it fixed!
yes like you said afterwards dead ended most likely
hey man I followed the steps just like the video says but I've still got a belt light on after the last step. Any tips you may have would be great
If you followed the steps it should have reset the light. When is the last time the belt was inspected?
K Reese I figured it out. I had the switch inside the cover switched to off. I went in and turned it to on and the reset worked perfectly. Thanks
Glad to see you got it working correctly
Thanks; great tutorial

Hey I have a 2005 Kawasaki 650 brute force the Atv won’t go faster then 5 mph and the belt light is one and flashing. Any suggestions? First time buyer f
It is in limp mode and needs reset. Follow the steps in this video. Also make sure your belt is in good condition. I have a video where I remove the KEBC actuator that shows how to remove your belt cover you should check it out. Hope this helps you.
I only have a grey connector missing the two pin connector
Is yours the same model as this one?
Worked on a 04 Prairie 700. Thanks man!
dudley237 hHey I'm glad this helped you please like And subscribe thanks for watching.
Thank you. Super easy.
YW
Do you have any idea where the large black connector wires go to on the right side in your video? Mine are just hanging loose.
I think you may be talking about the wires that go the engine brake, or KEBC. I have another video on removing the KEBC clutch fork, and I go into detail on everything, I think it may help you out. Here is the link. th-cam.com/video/gWzLsggaQqs/w-d-xo.html
Thanks K Reese. Got my limp mode reset and I'll check out your other video on the wire that are just dangling from the black connector in the video link you sent me.
I'm sorry, it's the large grey connector and wires that I meant. Yours are grey, mine are black. When I pulled on the connector four wires came out and appeared to be loose inside that wiring harness. Just wondering if they were meant to be that way? Didn't look like they were ever connected to anything. The ends of the wires aren't stripped or anything, just taped inside the harness....maybe done that way for the reset? Just a guess.
Chopper Joe Hmm. Not to sure what they had going on with yours. They should be connected within the harness.
Thanks again K Reese. I just taped them back up to the harness to get them outta the way...runs fine. Thanks for all the help! Have a great weekend.
Mine flashes quickly but then stops what do I do
Just follow the video closely it has be exact
What do u do if the light don't go out.?
take it to a professional
What to do if this doesn't work? I opened up my actuator and found intact., but it seems to not land properly when ignition is turned off. Motor continues to cycle for 2 minuted when turned off.
Ever fix it?
What can cause my Kawasaki 650 not idle?
Could be the carb, check out my video on how to rebuild them and change the jets.
hey i cant seem to find the black and grey conector in my bruteforce 2008, does it have them on the same side.
thanks
Jose Luis Claure Iriarte I can not confirm they are the same color as this procedure is for a 2005 model. I wouldn't think there would be much of a difference though.
@@KReesethebeast i dodnt have a gray connector on my 2005 brute 750
how can i do it on my 2014 brute force kawasaki 750
That process will be different this is a 2005
Anyone know where the Serial number/VIN # is located on the Brute Force 750 (2005-2007)?
Check the frame, under the seat, and the engine block.+
Is it possible if it’s missing connections?
what connections are you speaking of?
i got red light on on my force 650 . How do i know why is that for???
sounds like either the oil light or your belt light. which spot is the light in? it should have a label in white on the light unless it has faded.
is this where the actuator light is flashing back and forth
No this is how to reset the belt light that comes on so that you inspect the belt.
its a solid red light left of reverse light.
yep
Somebody can help me. My Kawasaki has welded cables without connector! What color are the cables?
Welded cables?
hey a got a problem with my kawasaki 650 can you tel me if its spits fire and sounds like a traktor but the mufler is new
Sounds like your carbs need adjusting. I would also check your plugs.
Okey thanks
+mikarelaksLV no problem thanks for watching.
+K Reese your welcome. ps do a exhauste video how to remow it
+mikarelaksLV You are in luck as a matter of fact I am in the process of installing an HMF Exhaust, an HMF jet kit, and rebuilding the carbs with a Moose Racing carb rebuild kit. I will have the video up soon. Subscribe to my channel so you do not miss it. I show how to remove the stock exhaust and install the HMF slip on if that is what you want to see.
You have an email? I have an additional question about one of the plugs if you don't mind.
Ruston Townley I would rather answer the questions here in the comments as to help others out as well, so feel free to post questions here.
Want start need help have check everything but

Thanks dude
No problem, glad this helped you out.
Very Nice Thank You
Glad this helped you out!
thank.....helped me out....!....gr8 video..!
I'm glad you found this video helpful thanks for watching!
Thanks Kevin
My pleasure, I am glad this video was helpful to you!
Hi I have a Kawasaki 360 that has to have the belt light reset every time it reaches 35 km an hour, been to dealers and they can't find the problem If their is anything you can tell me to check please let me know, been working that way for two years while I look for help
I am sorry to hear that. So, you are saying that you perform the belt light reset as described in this video, and once it has been reset properly, you get on the atv, reach 35kmh, and the red belt light comes on again? I just want to be clear on your problem. Thanks for watching my video, and for subscribing to my channel.
yes we have done your exact video, many times over and the same problem, occurs at 35 km again, is their anything else we can do thanks
Appreciate your help very much as the dealers around here seem to know nothing, you seem very smart and may have an answer to help us
Thank you. I will do my best to help. Can you tell me when all of this started? Was anything fixed, replaced, or modified on the atv?
Hi Thanks for the fast reply, this has been going on for almost 3 years, as far as I know it has a new clutch,belt, and the belt switch removed all done by dealer, other than that don't know what else they may have done
I can't find the grey plug on my 08 bike. why wouldn't it be there
Shelby Templeton Being an 08, it may be a different set up. I cannot say, as mine is older being an 05. You may have a different color plug.
I've had people look at it but can't figure it out
You could always buy a service manual for you particular model if all else fails.
I had a shop give me a 7 page instruction on how to do it. We'll see
Shelby Templeton Sounds good. Let me know what you find out.
thanks! good video!

What about oil light flashing??
Now that is different! If your oil light is flashing you may be too low on oil. Check your oil, if you are unsure how, I have a video on how to do an oil change on this atv also.
@@KReesethebeast I add oil already and the oil light still flashing ,the 4wheeler stay on for like 5 seconds and then go dead
@@elbichosalazar3120 I would take it to a mechanic. sounds like you could have a serious issue.
Yotengo una bronca así con un cuatri en alta mepetardea feo alguien me puede ayudar
No habla Espanol.
How did you Change the kmh to mph?
pretty sure mine was always set default to mph. there may be a way to change that, or either it is set from the factory depending on where in the world the atv is being shipped.
Kevin Reese yes I thought that but if you sit a fair distance back on the seat you can see both kph and mph but for me kph is showing and I don’t have a manual and was hoping you could find it for me which would be amazing
What year is yours and is it the 650 or 750?
Kevin Reese it’s the 2005 750
Work on a 750?
It should be very similar
Thank you
You are welcome.
dealer woulda charged me 100 bucks to do this
And that is exactly why I make videos like these to help everyone save money on things they can do themselves! Glad this helped you.
what ? you are Kyle Reese haha cool so you'r John Conor's dad ahah. kidding ;)
