As jccapri said above, the info you need is in the link. If you still can't figure it out, it might be time to take it to the dealer.

Most likely a voltage regulator or stator issue. File the link and you will know for sure.

Ok I went to test the silver regulatpr on the front and ots like a gel filled unit how can I test this for 14 volt? Any ideas

 

[jccapri]

Started the battery do you have 14 volts at the battery if not Then work your way from the battery back to the voltage regulator from the voltage regulator down to the stator or start at the stator and work your way to the battery.
What voltage do you have at the battery With the lights off Then what voltage do you have at the battery with the lights on

Well anyone have a regulator or know where I can get one fOr a decent price

I found an aftermarket one carries a one year warranty for like $99 when I get time I will find it posted Other than that cheap cycle or part zila you get the Polaris regulator but cheaper price
