Sportsman 500ho when riding the wrench flashed and speedometer display says statr.

 

 

Check charging at the battery while at an idle.Should be showing around 14-14.5 volts. If it's not check the regulator connectors up by the radiator. The funky slide connector on the red power wire had a habit of pulling apart. If it does the regulator can't charge back to the battery.IF the connections are ok,but still not charging,kill the engine and check the resistance between the yellow wires leading to the regulator. Should be some small resistance between each other with no yellow shorting to ground. Plus I forgot what year model you have.. Either has the regulator or an ecm module..

 

Well this is the one I bought as the package deal with trailer and other sportsman, funny thing is I just went to check voltage regulator connections before I left for work and it's not even there lol. Just the wires. Woukd that br guving me the statr reading on display? What exactly does that statr mean?

 

Yes that would do it... What year model? It means "stator" either the stator or charging system has a problem. I can see it having a problem if the regulator is missing..

 

2003 sportsman 500ho. Ya I kind of figured it meant stator but wanted to double check

 

Plenty of them on ebay or amazon from cheap to expensive.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Polaris-Spor...VZCN85&vxp=mtr I'd get a cheap one hook it up and see if that solves it. Wonder why the regulator was missing in the first place?
