Lights Dim - 94 XLT
Ran my 94 today. All the lights are very dim on the sled. Any ideas what could be going on?

Is the stator bad? Or could it just be a bad ground? Not sure where to start looking. Thanks!

Make sure that the regulator is well grounded.

Electrical is not my "thing".  Where is the regulator located on this sled?

Most likely near your key switch and the choke level is at. It looks like a small black box .. thats the regulator. WL

I took the regulator off, cleaned everything. Lights are still low. I noticed when I flip anything with a light, brake, warmers, lights, the rpms drop.

turn the hand warmers off and anything that hooks to the power like the helmet heat shield and such - trace one step at a time. Does the light go back to the normal mode? WL

Thanks for the help. It ended up being a bad regulator.

Although they are pricey at about $80, I would suggest getting the factory replacement from Polarisman.com instead of one of those cheap $30 aftermarket ones. I went through 3 of those before getting a OEM replacement to solve my regulator problems. They worked great for a week or two then, usually on my way home in the dark, they would burn up and I would lose all the lighting.

Mine was a Polaris regulator from the dealership, and it was $61.
