Voltage Regulator

I am not mechanically inclinced…. So here is my issue. I took my 2012 RZR 800 S out today and after about an hour of riding my RZR just died and wouldn’t start again. Tried jumping it and it wouldn’t start. I charged the battery and hooked it back up and got it to start and it would start then die. I was told it was probably my voltage regulator. Does this sound possible? Just thought it would stay running when battery was charged or jumped. Any help would be appreciated.

Starting issues

Went out to start my 2012 Rzr 800 last night for some reason all it did was click. Found the source of the clicking noise to be the starter solenoid under the drivers seat so I figured it was bad stoped by local Polaris dealer today picked up a new one $55 later I installed it same issues solenoid still clicks what could be the issue? Possibly a fuse? Thanks for any help

Stator Replacement

Before I pull the engine and replace the stator, want to run a few things by you guys that I did in order to pinpoint the problem to the stator. Let me know if I missed something.

2010 RZR S w/almost 6k miles on it.

Replaced battery – full charge and went down within 25 miles. Keeps going down quicker as I ride it.

Cleaned the star ground, battery terminals, and solenoid terminals by using a wire brush drill bit.

Checked battery voltage not running and is obviously good on a full charge but voltage will not increase when revving up the engine. (multimeter set to DC checking this)

Pulled the three yellow wire terminal from the voltage regulator and metered the stator side and there is 0.00 resistance to ground on two of the wires and the center is about 30 some odd ohms.

Started her up and with the same three yellow wire set unplugged, and meter set to AC, I get 1-2 volts on Y1+Y2 and Y2+Y3 and Y1+Y3.

After doing all the above, I have two Odyssey batteries that will not hold charge. One is brand spanking new and both can fully charge on the bench.

Shall I pull the engine and replace the stator? Let me know if there is something else to check and thanks in advance folks.

14 RZR s 800 on a budget

I am looking for things to do to mine that won’t break the bank but still add a little something. So far I have LED whips and a new switch plate for the dash. I was thinking about maybe doing something with the clutch but I am still new to these machines so really don’t know where to start. Just want to help looks and performance a little.
