Hi all
regards from my Israeli 400cc Silverwing
this week i got it spoiled with a new v belt, wights and roller guides.
replacing the whole thing took me an hour, mostly cause i needed to figure out a way to lock the drive face

but this is where i come to my question:
i looked around and read that to reset the v belt counter i should do the following:

1. turn the ignition off
2. press both buttons on the scooter's display
3. hold the buttons pressed and turn the ignition on
4. keep holding the buttons until the v belt indicator starts to blink
5. release both buttons

so this is what i did -
and it really turn off the v belt indicator from my display panel, but, after a short drive with my SW, it lit back on.
i noticed that if i drive it gentle - it will remain off for a long period of time, but if i use the throttle and speed above 140-150KPH, it lit back right as i reach those speeds.

is there something im doing wrong?
is there another way to reset the v belt indicator?

my scooter is a 2006 SW 400.

comments are appreciated

I have the same problem. (But not all the time!). The light comes on when the computer detects something outside the 'normal' parameters.

Run at motorway speeds and the light come on, however last night on the motorway, running an indicated 95 mph and the light never appeared.

I put mine down to the fact I have a J Costa Variator installed and the computer doesn't like non-Honda parts.

Basically it is a case of you know how to turn the light off so just live with it.

Cheers

Hi
thanks for the answer

some local mechanic suggested that since my SW is 400cc and the belt rollers and weights i used was a 600cc it could cause such thing to happen.

i guess i will have to live with it...

btw
i just got back from England this week, went to Bestival festival on the isle of wight.

Indeed but the traffic queues were awful - I was on the island last week just before the festival started with a couple of scootering friends.

I love the IOW.

Ok, so tonight I was driving home with only 15,600 miles on the clock and have not changed anything in the drive train when my light came on!

I have not tried to reset it yet, but is this a way the on computer is telling me it is time to change the belt?

Yes, it's belt changing time.
