To install drive belt on a 1999 Kawasaki Prairie 400 4x4, access the engine area and remove the cover that holds the clutch. Remove the drive belt around the clutch at the right side of the engine. Replace with new.
I believe its on the right side of the bike. Just below the belt cover.
You need a special tool from Kawasaki to hold the drive pulley. The Kawasaki part number for the tool is 57001-1520. After you remove the convertor cover. You remove the drive pulley by bolting the tool on the three upper bolts then take off the drive pulley nut (left hand threads). Once the pulley is off take the belt off the driven pulley then you can reinstall the new belt. You also have to check the belt deflection. Put a straight edge from the belt on the drive pulley to the belt on the driven pulley. Using a ruller push down on the belt. The deflection should be no more than 1". If it is I would take the ATV to a Kawasaki dealer. They will need to add or subtract springs and shims from the drive pulley. If the old belt has never been change you might be OK by just replacing it. I have not tried to take the drive pulley off without using the special tool from kawasaki. The best thing you can do is go to RepairManuals.com and look up a KVF650 2003, you can buy the OEM repair manual for $60.00 plus about $6.00 shipping. It has saved me a lot of money.
Why do my new ribbed belt break on my 97 land cruiser? Pulleys and alternator are new.
Winch cable goes in but will not come out?
Remove side cover, remove clutch ( primary the smaller clutch) and belt will come off easy. Make sure to install new belt with arrow on belt pointing in the right direction (forward)
Initial tension force Fi is needed to counteract the centrifugal force Fc on the belt and thus keep the belt on the pulley. Fi essentially allows the belt to go around the pulley.
