Was out for a ride Saturday and had an odd issue that eventually resulted in a total breakdown. Off and on throughout the afternoon/evening I kept getting a low voltage warning. Then I got a check engine line and my throttle kept cutting out (acting like I was hitting a rev limiter, but was traveling at pretty low speed / RPM to being with). We stopped and I shut the engine down, then had to jump it to get it to start again. Continued on for a few hours, then the voltage warning started coming up again, followed by the rev limiting and shutdown. We were unable to get it to start again, even jumping it from a car battery. What was so bizarre about the whole thing, was even after the voltage warning and shutdown, my light bars and stereo continued to work with no trouble whatsoever, indicating my battery still had plenty of juice. One of the guys with us said his voltage regulator had previously failed and he had virtually the same symptoms.
I should also add the battery is practically brand new, maybe 20-30 hours of use, and was fully charged immediately prior to the ride.
Can anyone shed any light? And does anyone know if the Polaris extended warranty would cover it?
Thanks in advance!
