1. Join a martial arts location.
2. Warm up and stretch before engaging in physical activity.
3. Perfect basic kicks and punches.
4. Remember poomses, katas, etc. when you learn them because they might show up on a black belt test.
2003 650 and 2004 700 can also have their belt switches tripped by a loose belt. However, the belt light may stay on after flipping the switch back to "ON", or it may have come on automatically at 100 hours to get you to return the machine to the dealer for inspection. The following procedures will reset the light if the belt switch is not tripped. A tripped switch will cause loss of power. Adjust the belt and flip switch to the "ON" position (a loose belt flips it to off). However, a belt light needing to be reset (such as at 100 hours) will cause early 2003 machines to loose power, but not later ones (I am told). If you aren't sure which procedure to use on your 2003 650, try the first one. If it does not reset the light use the second one.
Early 2003 650 Belt light reset procedure.
1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
2. Disconnect the belt failure switch at the 2-pin connector above the CVT cover. (Note: Just follow the wires coming from the rectangular black box on the CVT Cover to locate this connector.)
3. Disconnect both sets of 5 pin connectors located above the CVT cover. Note: These connectors are located just beneath the shift handle on the right side of the 650; one is black and one is grey.
4. Connect these 5 pin connectors to their opposite pairs (grey to black and black to grey).
5. Turn the ignition switch ON.
6. Observe the belt-warning lamp. It should be flashing at a 0.4 second interval for a few seconds then start to flash slower. Let the lamp flash for at least seven seconds.
7. After seven seconds or more, turn the ignition switch off.
8. Reconnect 5 pin connectors to their proper location (black to black, grey to grey).
9. Connect the belt failure switch 2-pin connector (wires from CVT cover).
10. Turn the ignition switch on to confirm that the belt warning light is not flashing. Retry this procedure if needed. As far as I have heard it always works if the belt switch isn't tripped and there are no electrical problems.

Black stripes on karate belts often resemble half grades where the pupil hasn't quite advanced on to the next level however is senior to other pupils with the same grade without the black stripe.
