my buddy has an 04 warrior with 5000 miles over the course of the last 2 yrs the battery keeps going dead,we put 3 batterys in it they work great for 2-3 rides then they go dead,gauges go out etc. get the sled home charge it on a slow charge over night works great for 2-3 rides goes dead again,we traced all the wires there is no breaks or wear on any of them.
just wondering if anyone has had a similar experiance and what they found
Thanks in advance Jason

Check in the nose of the sled under the toolbox the is a regulator the see if it hasn't come unplugged my sled did something very close to what you explaining here.

If it is not a loose connectiom, ... With a freshly charged battery, with the sled running at 3,000 RPM, what voltage do you see across the battery? You should see > 13 volts. If you do not see that, then the sled is not charging.
The voltage regulator connection may be a good place to start. But if you not seeing > 13 volts when running, then the regulator or the stator is not working. The stator can be checked by measuring resistance across it's connector. Once you have the correct resistance there and if you not seeing > 13 VDC, the Voltage Regulator has to be bad.
The Stator's Charging Coil connector has 3 white wires in it. Put one ohm meter lead on a wire connector near the edge of the connector. The resistance from that connector to both of the others should be .19 - .24 ohms for each of the other white wires. If it is not in spec, it is bad.
