Question Electrical problems
I have a 2000 sportsman 500, recently the bat started to die when I leave it parked for a day or two. so I have been pull starting it but my 2 rack lights and my headlight all blew within 2 min. so I’m thinking I have a short but I have no idea where to start to look to find it any ideas?

i would wonder if your regulator rectifier is bad. usually if all your bulbs blow, that is one of the first things that does go out when the reg/rec is bad. possibly your battery has taken a crap because its getting overcharged from the stator
