K, i gots a 95 polaris xlt specail and im haveing some light issues, like all my lights are dim, and not really working that well. Im thinking that its bad wireing or something, but i really know nothing bout selds. its gotta be some general thing, cuz all my lights work (headlight, taillight, counsol lights) so what do you think?

your battery is either going to be under the seat or under the hood.

take the connections off, DONT TOUCH THEM TOGETHER or your fucked...get a clean wire brush and clean all the corrosion off the terminals, use a light solvent or a grease buster (works great). Make sure you put the terminals back on tight, and your good to go

HAHAH Listen to you fucking jibbers try to fix a sled... sled's do not have batteries: the auxillary electronics like indicator lights, headlights, handlebar heaters, etc.. run off of engine power.. just good old gas. are your lights always dim, or just when your sled is idiling. I would take it in to a shop because they know what they are doing, that is what i usually do with mine.

yeah my old sleds had batteries for electric starts! definately check for corrossion on the battery and if any of your wires are worn. if that's all good check the alternator.

and it prolly has batteries cuz they are east coaster cruiser sledders!! different that what you and I are used to twoplank...

But when the engine in running the lights shouldn't be running off of battery power...that would be alternator power. but then again I have no idea about an xlt or even a polaris for that matter...get yourself a summit and move to whistler...haha

wow, gas powered headlights???!!! thats fucking amazing!!! I never knew there was such a thing!!! oh wait, there isnt. anyway, you could have a bad ground. make sure all your wiring is intact and your connections are clean and tight. check the simplest things first before you start pulling stuff out or going to a mech.

yamaha and polaris is the way to go. i wont argue that arctic cat and ski doo make some fast sleds. they make everything out of the lightest and cheapest stuff they can find. but what happens when all your light shit breaks huh. under the hood of a polaris or yamaha it is all too familiar. but open up a cat and its like a fuckin chinese finger puppet maze thing.
