1998 Polaris Explorer 400 Charging Problem
We all went our for a few hours this weekend and on the way back we noticed that the tail light on my brother's 400 explorer, was very dim. When we got to the house, it wouldn't crank with the starter, so I checked the battery voltage and found it to be just over 9 volts static. I then pull started it and checked the voltage with the engine running at 3000 rpm's and it stayed at just over 9 volts; I also should mention that the battery is less than a week old and the cables are good.
I checked all the connections and grounds and found them to all be good; I then checked for battery voltage at the red wire on the voltage regulator and it did have battery voltage at the regulator/rectifier, so we have continuity between the battery and regulator/rectifier. I guess I'll have him go get a new voltage regulator/rectifier, but I'd like to pick you guy's brains and see if there isn't something else I'm missing before digging in his wallet. Thanks in advance.....

Yes, I have read where some folks have done that; this one has the stock flywheel on it.
