Last week my XLT lost lighting on the trail and I discovered the regulator was bad by pulling the yellow wire off of it at idle and the lights came back on. I put a NEW regulator and hedlight bulb on and everything was OK for a few hours of riding.
Today it lost the low beam and the lights would flicker brighter and then back to normal when you came off idle.
Now the headlight is totally burned out and the regulator doesn't seem to be working at all. What would cause a regulator to burn out in hours? What can I do to prevent this from happenning again before I buy another new regulator?
