Hey guys, so I've been messing with my quad, and between all the starts, the battery is dead. Is there a certain way to charge these? Can I just throw a trickle charger on it and call it a day? can i also jump it like a normal car with a battery pack or is that to much voltage

Just some friendly advice on new tires. Check with your ATV dealer.
There are so many aftermarket sites, Revco, Royal Distributing, Partzilla, and on and on. Even with their “ big sales”, my local Canam dealer’s REGULAR price beat the tire prices of the 3rd party sellers! People often assume the Dealership will cost them more, but I found this not to be true!

I have replaced the cracked stator cover on my non-running 2006 LT-F400F that I purchased recently, checked all the shafts vs the service manual and pics and advice here. I replaced missing gears, bushings and washers, made sure that truth marks were all aligned properly, that the shift cam springs felt like they returned properly, etc. IAfter installing the new stator cover I checked the transfer lever for proper movement from L-H-R and then cranked it up. Happily, it runs and changes gears well in L, but it will not shift into H or R for anything. I have opened it back up and am going back through it looking for the missing puzzle piece(s) but how can I best check that I have everything right this time before buttoning it back up?

FYI: I used a volt meter to test the stator/rotor output. Pulled the plug on the rectifier/regulator to access the 3 wires coming from the stator. The other 2 wires are 12v pos and negative so easy to identify the 3 stator wires, which are yellow on my Kowhockey. You should see around 30v AC not DC coming from the engine stator. Test all three wires to EACH OTHER not ground. Remember the stator puts out AC like an alternator. The rectifier converts the AC into DC to charge the battery. On my case the rectifier/regulator was bad, obvious because the 3 stator wires showed 30v AC

Hi All -
My son and I went in halvers on a 2006 Kodiak 450 recently. We rode it some, and realized it is not charging the battery. I pulled the rectifier off and saw the plug was jacked up, the DC hot wire was not even making a connection. So, I thought that was the issue, but decided to test rectifier and stator using my multimeter while stuff was apart.
The rectifier tested bad using the technique I saw on YouTube here:
I got OL on a diode test when I should have been seeing .2-.8v on one of the tests so it is bad. So, I will be getting a new rectifier and fixing the wiring/plug.
While doing that, I also tested the stator. The stator tested with zero ohms when checking resistance between the three white wires, and I think I should have been seeing at least a little resistance, .2-.9 ohms. I did a ground test and it was good. Also, I started the bike and checked A/C voltage on all three wires and it looked OK.
My question is, do you guys think the stator is bad with the 0 ohms resistance? I am a little confused since I see A/C voltage.
The wires are clean and it looks like there is a new gasket in place, so I think previous owner put a new stator in at some point. Also, the rectifier looks newer, not as dirty as rest of bike. I suppose he may have put in a cheap amazon regulator/rectifier and stator but not sure.
Thanks
Clint
