Hi all. I am looking at buying a 2006 model sportsman 500 HO. The bloke selling tells me the rectifier isn’t working because the battery doesn’t charge. However when the bike is running all the electrics still work so the magneto must still be working. The only two dramas I could see wrong is that the battery is either stuffed or the rectifier. I have tried contacting my local parts dealer to get a price for a new rectifier so I know what I could be getting myself into if I go ahead and purchase the atv. They can’t find a specific part called a rectifier or voltage regulator. So I guess my question is does anyone know where abouts it is on the bike and what the part number is that I could try and find the cost of a replacement.
Cheers
