Over voltage

So I was out riding trails and mudding in my 2016 Highlifter 850 for a good 4 days while camping. On the last day I was riding I noticed I got a message on my Screen saying over over-voltage 16.9. This is first time it has happened to me and at idle it wouldn't hold constant idle. Would rev back and forth. I have a planet audio water proof speaker box with Bluetooth so I can play music on trails. Well I noticed my audio box started to mess up either going quiet or shutting off but it was fixed whenever I would wiggle the plug inside the car charger plug near handlebars. But it would go out again next bump I hit. Shortly after that is when I first got the over volt error pop up. I immediately unhooked my speaker box so that's not an issue anymore.

What would be going wrong here and how would I fix it? Could the audio box shorted out and drained my battery rendering the battery useless now? Should I get a new battery or could it be what I've heard either the voltage regulator or my stator?

Please help me out and thanks.

Possibly buying a 98 magnum 425

Hey guys, I'm new to owning a four wheeler and I'm currently looking at a 98 magnum 425. The guy says that it knocks a bunch and tries to spitter out. I realize this would usually be a pretty big issue but he is also including a second parts bike. Any knowledge you can give me would be great!

Automatic reverse back up light.

I looked at all of the existing mods using relays and loosing functions unless a switch is flipped. I did not care for any of those that i saw so I came up with this one. If you can not build electronic circuits, this mod is not for you. What this circuit does is compares the signal from the gear position sensor to a voltage divider and when the two match it turns on the transistor which turns on the relay which puts power to the led back up light. If you have questions ask.

2013 Sportsman 500ho lift removal

Hey guys, just joined. I have been a long time atv owner/rider, tinkerer, and outdoorsman. This is my first new age Polaris (owned a 96 scrambler 400 at one time). I just purchased a 2013 Polaris sportsman 500 ho used, I was told it was Factory with the exception of the 27" tires. Well I was lied to and have so far found aftermarket rear axles and what I believe is a 2" lift (I have found front shock spacers, rear lower shock relocation brackets, and what I believe are extended sway bar links). I have a few questions.

1. Is there anything more to lowering it down than getting the Factory sway bar links and Factory hardware and removing the spacers/shock brackets? Or are there pieces that I am unaware of that need to be removed also?

2. Will my 27" tires fit without the lift?

3. Is the lift over stressing anything other than the cv joints?

2012 850 xp broken dip stick

While changing the oil on our 2012 850 xp .The dipstick was not seated correctly and when we started the engine it broke the dipstick off. We stopped the engine as soon as we realized what happened. We looked in the oil dipstick port and did not see anything . We drained the oil and did find several small pieces of plastic from the dip stick. We refilled and drained 4 times and did get a few more pieces. I will change the filter again and cut it open to see if there is any material in the oil filter. Any suggestions on what to do next ? Am I going to have to pull engine and take off oil pan? Do I run for awhile and do several quick oil changes ? Really Really need some help and advice. Thanks so much for the help and advice
