Hello everyone. I have a 2006 Arctic Cat 400 VP. The machine seems to have developed a lighting issue. A few days ago I went for a ride and noticed one of my lights was pulled out of it's socket. I replaced the bulb. Later that evening I went for a ride on the machine. It got a little dark out so I turned on the lights. About 2 minutes later the machine died. I turned off the lights and used the pull start because the battery was low. The next day I replaced the battery. A couple days later I went for another ride in the evening and had to use the lights again. This time it took about 3 or 4 minutes but again the machine died. What I have done so far is remove the negative wire and attach a test light to check for a short, there isnt one. I then took a digital meter and tested the battery. In the off position the reading was 9.87 volts. When I started the machine the voltage dropped to 6.87 volts. Where do I go from here?
