After market or OEM Voltage Regulator ?

I have a 2012 RZRXP4 900 with the stage 2 kit. I had to replace the Voltage Regulator on my RZR about a 1 1/2 years ago. Not very long ago. I went back with the OEM 4013904. The Regulator was over charging and the new one fixed it. Price well over $200.00. Now this last weekend I started :popcorn:getting low voltage and not charging. I have not ohm the stator yet but I will. But I think it is the regulator. So far the lowest I can find the OEM Regulator is with Cheap Cycle parts at $202.74 delivered. What about the after market. some of them are as low as $84 but are they as good as the OEM part? Which seem to be not very good either.

I have a 2012 xp4 900 and looking for new battery. I have read threads but 4 seater battery position is different from 2 seater and I’m not clear if an Odyssey 925 will fit without any modifications. Can anyone verify and do you have pics showing it installed?

Winter/Summer access at 10k feet :)

Hello all,

Need some advice…I’m hoping I can get access through up to a couple feet of snow if I build the machine right. What tires, lift, winch etc. would be recommended to get through some deep snow, sometimes with significant drifts? I have looked at the $4K tracks, but hoping I can do without.

Figure for summer I can just swap out some tires? Not wanting to do much mechanical mods with clutch/gears if possible.

Losing Coolant???

I noticed when taking my rzr of my trailer I was leaking coolant, or so I thought. My radiator was still full, expansion tank empty and didn’t see any signs of a leak in any of the lines. After checking around for a while I realized it was right under my eyes from the start but I had put the hood and underhood tray off to the side. Sure enough it looks like the coolant had built up so much pressure it shot straight up through the little pin hole at the top of the expansion tank. I never had any signs of overheating and my rzr ran perfect on the trip. I first noticed the coolant on the inside of my wheel well (dripped down the a arm) and then noticed the same spot on on another part of the wheel well which means it probably spewed a little coolant on another trip.

Is this normal for it to spit out the top of the expansion tank? My first thought was overheating, but thought if it got real bad I would have noticed something on the performance end. Could there be air in the cooling system and if so how do I bleed that? Could it be as easy as getting a better radiator cap? Another thing if I come to the end of a run and my fans are on, should I throw it in neutral and wait until the fans shut off to turn the Rzr off? Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.
