I NEED HELP TO SOLVE A PROBLEM. I HAVE A 2007 SPORTSMAN 700 EFI THAT WONT STAY CHARGED. I HAVE PUT A NEW BATTIERY IN AND IT JUST DRAINED IT AFTER A FEW RIDES. COULD IT BE A BAD STATOR? IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS PLEASE TELL.. ALSO WHERE CAN I GET A MANUAL FOR THIS BIKE?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

Get a multi meter and hook it to the battery then start the machine and rev it up to like 2000 to2500 rpm and see if its charging, meter should read up to 14.5 volts, if not charging then its could be a number of things,if its charging then you have a short that is drainig the battery.
