When your battery isn’t charging on your ATV, there are three basic elements you need to test: the battery, the stator, and the regulator rectifier. In this video from Partzilla.com, John will show you how to test the charging system on your Honda Rancher TRX420.
We’ll start with the battery, where we’ll use a multimeter to check on the charge coming into the battery. Then, we’ll disconnect the cables from the stator to the regulator rectifier to see if the stator is delivering current to the regulator rectifier. Then, we’ll test the regulator rectifier.
On our unit, we were able to isolate the regulator rectifier as the problem, so we’ll show you how to replace the regulator rectifier on your Honda Rancher 420 and get back on the trail.
Check the links in the video to find more videos on how to test your stator and your regulator rectifier.

In the video we’re working with a 2012 Honda Rancher TRX420, but you will have similar steps for your Honda ATV. If you’re not sure whether these steps apply to your machine, leave a comment and we’ll get back to you.

Probably one of the simplest videos I have seen explaining the testing of the system. Great video.
Glad it was helpful!
Hands down the best ATV videos iv found.
Outstanding details and instructions for repaired on the trx420. It has been a wealth of information that will be a tremendous help with working on my 2013 trx420. Thanks.
Perfectly laid out diagnostics my friend! Your professionalism is Much appreciated .
Incredibly Helpful! Thanks for the clear and spot-on trouble shooting procedure!
Very helpful! Thank you for this explanation!
Thanks for the easy to follow procedure.
had the same problem, got it sorted all thanks to your video, the regulator was giving the .5 reading but where it should be giving no reading it was giving a 1.7 so something was definitely wrong
Thank you so much this was very helpful!
God bless you brother for helping us
Thanks for the information
Great video John with some very helpful info if I ever have that problem. I'm still waiting on the coolant flush on the Rancher 420!
I second that! I wanna see a coolant flush too!
Sir you're awesome 👏🏻
Hey Jon will it be the same for a 2008 trx 450 er in having a charging problem i have a new stator and regulator can't figure what to check next
Thanks man
Thanks
Have you a vid on changing the stator?
Cheers mate!
I have a 2011 420 Fourtrax. I am getting 15.3 volts on each of the windings. Is that sufficient voltage?
My 2008 Rancher 420 has a voltage from the stator of 13.68 on all three. I am guessing that is too low? What should a 2008 TRX420 ES 4x4 be? The output from the rectifier is only 8.98 Volts. to the battery.
What might be the problem if it will not start but you move the gear shifter to the left of neutral before you go into reverse and then press the starter and it starts?
What does it mean if I still only get 20v a/c with higher rpm's ?
Puede poner un video de como checar cdi honda rancher 420 fm 4x4 2013 gracias
My 2024 Honda TRX420 Rancher 4x4 has a “knocking” noise when I turn the key on.. I have no idea what to do. I bought 2 or 3 months ago.
What should be the voltage coming out of the regulator rectifier when it's off the machine? Thank you for your video hope to hear from you soon. Also I'm only showing 15 volts coming from the stator at idle when revving it can go up to 35 or more
Did you ever find your issue? At idle I’m only at 15 volts as well from stator.
I have a Honda 125M I got a new Battery for it I ran it not even a block around my house I parked it for a few minutes it will not start no Neutral light or ignition all dead at this time regulator rectifier not sure what it does I ran a screw driver between the two bolts and I got spark it was trying to start but no go I am running 14.00 volts at this time I checked the fuses they look ok not sure what to check next please Help
my battery is over charging like 14.8 making my 1993 fourtrax to run bad under load, how to test ?
I checked the rectifier and I get .467 on the neg side .825 on the pos side
Hey hoy mi cuatrimoto no da chispa porque será me puedes ayudar
So my stator is only giving me a reading of 14. Would that be where my issue is?
What would happen if you miss a line a trx350fm 2006 4x4 swingarm bolt? Would it cause the swingarm bolt to fallout and not torque to spec? And the swingarm bolts are rusty I'm asking because I've went through it and couldn't figure it out
Tf
I have a 1997 trx 400 foreman with a charging issue, would the information in this video be relevant for my bike ?
I have the same. Did you determine if it was the same? Thanks a ton.
Stator only producing 15.3 volts. Brand new rectifier and battery isn’t charging. Is my stator volts too low?
What did it end up being
What it stater is doing 17 out of it
Put it in installing a wench on my 2009 850XP
I have power, but no spark
Probably my issue
My atv shits off when I unplug that wire plug
Same
Have you figured it out yet
