1995 Suzuki LT-F4WDX - Electrical Problem?

Hey everyone! I hope someone can help me out.

I have a 95 LT-F4WDX that I have been having a strange problem with. It starts & idles perfectly but when I try to rev it up it spits & sputters. I found about 2 weeks ago that when I turned the switch to "headlights on" it ran fine. That worked for a few days but then I had to position the beam selector switch in the middle of high/low beam for it to run right. That worked for about two days, now it must be on low beam & it has to warm up for about 15 - 20 minutes before it will run ok. When switched to high beam, the lights go out & it dies. It seems to me like it needs to have a load to keep running right.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Well I took the entire body off and went through every wire I could find and they all look good. Took apart and cleaned all connections and it still does the same thing. A friend said it could be the voltage regulator. Thoughts on this? Could a faulty regulator cause symptoms like this?

Sounds like you have some wire chaffing going on start chasing wires and cleaning conections you will find it. print off a wiring scematic.

Ok, apparently a voltage regulator/rectifier can cause this?

I checked the battery voltage with the key off & it read 14.5. I turned the key on but not the bike & it slowly dropped to 12.8 and stayed. When I started the bike it immediatly shot up to 19+ volts. I unhooked the regulator/recitifier, started the bike and it read a steady 13.4 & seemed to rev up and run fine.
