2009 8OO RMK ELECTRICAL

So I was riding my sled when it went completely dead out of no where. pulled it over a few times and none of the electronics were working. I had this problem before when my voltage regulator fried, had a spare so I installed it and it started up but then 5 seconds later smoke started coming from the ECU and the ECU got really hot... Has anyone had this before, sounds like the ECM shorted out, but I don't want to replace it and frie another one instantly if something else caused it to frie

Reg goes bad and sends too much voltage to the ECU. Common problem. You will need to replace both. FIrst sign is gauge does weird thing and then quits. Soon after the ECU burns up. I beleive there is a long discussion on here about how to maybe prevent that.
