New Member with new Slingshot - Tennessee

Sweet!! Welcome to the best show on Earth... err, I mean, THE GREATEST FORUM EVER!!

Welcome! You found a nice specimen of the best color made. Spend some time looking through the forum, you'll find answers to questions you didn't even know you had, and some great ideas for directions you can take it.

And before you ask the question, yes, upgrading the shocks is by far the best first mod.

P.S. When I first get going I can smell a faint burning smell.

Uhhh, does it smell like rubber?

Welcome to the Show @haganjeff! Lot's of smart folks here - and a few more like me...

Welcome @haganjeff. Hard to say what the smell is. Could just be a whiff of exhaust, could be a lot of things. Hopefully the smell is nothing. I had burning clutch smell a lot in my 15. Ended up just putting in a new clutch. Not really that hard. Ride hard and see what happens. Make certain your dealer knows about the smell. Maybe even have them try it. You do have warranty.

Possibly something dripping (in small quantity) on the exhaust. Take a good look at the valve cover gasket on the starboard side.

Welcome to the madness @haganjeff!!

Welcome @haganjeff, this is a great place for all your questions and to get ideas of what you want to do to your SS. When I first got here I was determined to just ride my SS bone stock. Well that lasted all of about a month or so. I cant wait to get my mods done and get decent weather to ride. You will like it here, biggest family I have ever been a part of.

Welcome, your second mod should be the DDM Short Shifter with one of their Stainless Steel gear shift knobs. As to the smell, I would check to see if the plastic radiator recovery tank has a leak. This is a known problem, mine split on the passenger side under the mounting bolt at the seam and it would be covered by warrenty or you could buy the Alum. one from DDM to replace it. Ride Safe and Watch Out For The Other Driver

Wellcome to the house of info @haganjeff some good , some costly ,some Great savings and a whole lot of insanity! Probably just a little dust burn off but let your dealer check to make sure .

@haganjeff Welcome to the fun!. I Live in Clarksville and work in Nashville. I am a pretty new owner myself. If you ever want to ride together or need anything hit me up.

Welcome @haganjeff. Daughter spent several years at MTSU and still has friends there...
We live in the east end of the state but still enjoy visiting your area. You will find there are way to many mods for the SS that you will just have to have .

welcome aboard @haganjeff
