I have recently purchased a 2004 honda rancher 400, it has both the automatic shift, and es shift. While riding after a significant amount of time ( riding for 2 - 3 hrs) it will drain the battery and die. I have put a new battery in it and it still does it. Is there a voltage regulator on these bikes that would make it drain the battery if not working correctly? any advice is greatly apreciated !

 

has anyone experienced a problem similar to this ? this is my 1st honda and its already turning out to be a bad expereince

 

did you check the voltage?

 

the voltage coming out of what? i beleive it has to be what ever recharges the battery, so im guessing a voltage regulator
