So. ... What is the latest on this Sling? You had it in Texas right? Does it drive pretty well now or are still being tuned in.

Sorry @StickerDick i totally missed your question.
As Henry says, it has been crazy reliable. I daily drive it when the weather allows.
Idles smooth at 600rpm and has instant throttle response. I have about 5,000 miles on it and other than the heat it was generating, was fantastic. Almost too fantastic to mess with... Almost
Unfortunately I can't leave well enough alone and wanted some more updates.

Off to the dealer for recall work having a good dealer is a must!

Very fortunate to have Scott and his dealership close to us. I read so many stories of bad dealerships but Scott has saved the day for so many close and far.
I can attest to that! When or if the time comes again I will be in Eau Claire at Sport Rider no doubt about it!

Cool, just was wondering, did you ever get the traction control working or is that just a non issue now?

No traction. I may switch to Haltec or something else in the future but I haven't missed the nannies that much.
I would potentially like them for the track as we test the limits but for all out fun on the streets I haven't needed them (knock on wood) - I just go through tires faster.

OK,,, I was wondering. I like my nannie controls, I guess I'm a big ol baby with that.

Haha, no, nannies do not equal baby and quite frankly I don't really trust anyone to drive mine because it can easily kill you if you don't respect it.
The nannies are great (would LOVE to have stability control back) but it does add to the pure rawness of my machine. Kinda like an old cobra more than the mechanical insect/UFO the original is. Mine is like a boss hoss where yours is like a literbike. Both get you where you want to go really, really fast just completely differently.
