Hey everyone I just want to start off by introducing myself, my names Tyler but everyone calls me Spud. I have been a creeper for the last few months and now that I finally bought my 2012 Rzr 800s and ran into my first problem I figured I'd create a user.
Alright so here is the deal. I bought a 2012 800s with 650 miles, I trailer-ed it about 35 mins home in about 40 degree weather. I test drove it twice at the dealers little test lot with no problems. Now coincidentally or not when I went to go start it when I brought it home to get it off the trailer.. click click. I jumped it and let it run for awhile with no problems. A week later I brought my Rzr to my uncles cabin for a few hours messing around on some trails with some puddles and what not with no problems. A week after that I did something similar with all dry land with no problems. Now this weekend I went trail riding and put on around 50 miles, there was the average puddles here and there but nothing crazy or "swamping" going on. Here is where it gets interesting, I was about 20 mins from my truck doing about 30ish MPH my Rzr just bogged down for a quick second or two I didn't really think anything about it thought I was just imagining something. The second time it happened I knew i wasn't going crazy I was doing about 45ish MPH and it bogged down again shortly after the first time it happened, but this time I watched the dash for any lights and literally everything shut off then all the lights came on and went back to normal except for my seat belt light so i unclipped my belt and put it back on and it went away. I finally made it back to my truck and I let my Rzr just run for a couple mins. I tried to re-enact the situations since I felt safe near the truck so I drove down the trail a little ways, this section was completely dry and i was about 3/4 throttle and it happened again for a quick second, I don't believe it bogged long enough to cut the dash power? Anyways I loaded up and went back to camp. Sadly there was no parts store open and for a piece of mind i wanted to get my battery tested, my only option was Wal-Mart. The battery tester printed out a sheet "Battery tested good, low on charge, recharge and replace into vehicle". So I put the battery back in and drove around the campground a few times with random puddles and what not, no problems at all. When I got home I tested the battery with the Rzr off and i got 12.4 volts, I then started it and it went up to around 14.2 volts. I am now stumped and scared to get stranded a couple hours from camp. Sorry it was such a long post but i wanted to be detailed for better answers. Again thanks for your help and any help will always be appreciated.
PS: Its all stock except for an Airaid intake and Snorkels.
