well my battary died the other day when i was useing my lights and i just figured it went bad cause it was old (at the time i thought nothing about the lights) so i bought a new one and it worked fine. then one night i was out riding and i used my lights and then my battary went dead. i charged it up and it worked again untill i used my lights. also i never paid any attention before but i also noticed that my lights or alot dimmer than everyone elses. any ideas of what the problems is? i thought maybe it was a voltage regulator? i had a similar problem on a sled and it was the voltage regulator. thanks for any help

Check the voltage regulator. I had the exact same problem on my old 400ex.

Something's wrong with your stator. The lighting coil isn't working properly if your lights are draining your battery.
