I have a 2011 sportsman 850XP. when I plow, it kills the battery in a matter of minutes. The charging system doesn't seem to be able to keep up with battery use. Any suggestions? Anyone else havin

I even tried plowing with the lights off, and had the battery on a tender. Same results! Took it to Ingles Performance, where I purchased it, they charged me $85 and told me there's nothing wrong with it. Getting very frustrated!

    Took it back to Ingles, made them take another look... They replaced the voltage regulator and I haven't had a problem since... Thank you everyone for your input.

If this only occurs when plowwing have the electrical plow circuit actuators checked. if when load is applied ck amps. research specs,if under warrentty no problem old and overheated electricals are points to fail check your stator output, batteryand wiring. these checks are done under load conditions note any items getting overheated, could be the cause. get a larger cap, battery or stator with hi-output rating if possible. meanwhile take it easy on the plow.

NO SPARK AT SPARK PLUG. WHAT ARE THE PROABLE CAUSES,BATTERY IS BRAND NEW AND FULLY CHARGED. ENGINE TURNS OVER BUT STILL NO SPARK.

I would check the kill switch or on/off switch as those work by grounding out the ignition system so there is no spark. After that the coil or magneto might be the issue.

Why wont 1977 sportsman charge its battery and i replaced everything related to this problem

By everything, I am assuming you mean the charge coils, regulator/rectifier and the battery? Then all you are left with is wiring. Bad charge coils means low or no output. Bad regulator/rectifier can mean either the regulator prevents the charge from getting to the battery or the rectifier is bad and dumping charge to ground or sending AC (Alternating Current) into the battery, which will kill it is short order. If there is no water in the battery or the plates are shorted, it will not accept a charge.

Battery light keeps blinking on my 2006 polaris sportsman 800 efi

Sounds like you have a dirty ground somewhere. Or it's not charging properly, or can't take a charge because of a faulty battery. Use a dc 12v meter to check the battery.

2005 sportsman why does it shut of when the lights are on when riding

Sounds like you have a problem in the charging system. The alternator is giving the system enough charge with no lights but cant keep up when lights are on. This also happens if you are running other lights without being correctly connected through a relay.
