2004 Suzuki Vinson Battery Dies

guy that had it before me had a bad battery in it but he could still ride it on pull start and did for like 2 weeks and i got it and put a brand new battery in it and within a week it was dead found out it was to small of a battery for the wheeler and got another new one and still does it i checked the voltage on the battery with the wheeler running and it steadily drops voltage off the battery and if you rev it up it sucks it even faster but the stator is working correctly i already checked that, any ideas???

What's your voltage while it's running? Make sure all your wires are connected and that you have no breaks anywhere..ground, etc.

while it's running with a charged battery from about 13 volts it just steadily starts dropping immediately and rev the engine it drops even faster and eventually it will get so low that it just stalls out and wont run but if you check the stator its putting off the right voltage

ide go with with ajm said check all the wires sounds like you have a short someplace thats not letting the power get from the stator to the battery. If you have a service manual or someone here may know find out what color the wire is from the stator to the battery and follow that check for cuts or broken wires or crappy connectors.

Don't forget to check the battery terminal connections too.

You could have bad battery cables, and/or a faulty voltage regulator/rectifier.

ahhh well thank you guys not only was the rectifier not letting and voltage pass but the connection before it on the stator had rusty connections so it also wasn't letting voltage pass, see sometimes when u just can't think of anything else someone here will think it for you instead lol

Good to see that you found your issue.

[DirtDemon]

So, I take it you have the machine up and running?

[bigtruckman32]

yea it was the regulator and some wires under some tape that i had to splice but its running great now

Thank you for the update and info!!!!
