^^^x2 on the voltage regulator, connect a volt meter to the yellow and brown wires and see what ya got running, not a 100 percent sure but i'm thinking you shouldn't see more than 13.5 volts if it is working ok

Mine was doing the same thing and it was the voltage regulator. black thing about the size of a credit card engine side of the right foot well. Terry

I think it is AC voltage. Not sure as it has been a while. If you get something weird on DC you might try AC on your meter when testing.

As the others have said...more than likely the regulator. Very easy to swap out. While your at it check your brake light to see if it's stuck on. I have replaced the regulator on a 2000 700 rmk, (2) 600 rmk's and a 500 rmk. Two of them had stuck brake light switches as well.
I took the switch apart and cleaned the contacts and everything worked great after that. Be very careful not to let the switch fall apart. The spring is VERY small and not very fun to put back together.

more than likely voltage regulator if so throw the polaris one in the trash and get a mid to late 90's artic cat two wire. them hook the yellow wire up just like you would factory then hook the brown wire up to the ground. i just used the mounting bolt for the regulator as my chassis groung source works great bean running the same one for years
