Useful Maintenance Tool sizes 2019 S model

That's good information that is always nice to know.

Quote from echoraven

After paying off my sling, I decided to do most of my own maintenance. I thought something helpful would be a list of tool sizes for different tasks and thought someone else might find this helpful.

If you have any other task/tool sizes feel free to post and I'll add it to my master file (on my phone).

One thing I learned with this endeavour is how easy the Sling is to do maintenance on. The hardest thing was the angle drive; but you remove the battery cover and it becomes much easier to reach.

If you ever toyed with the idea of doing it yourself take the plunge. You will never encounter an easier vehicle to work on.

Please add the year Slingshot you have as some of the newer ones may have some differences... Just my TWO-CENTS.gif

The best tool you will ever purchase! On EBay.

Damn! That is the first time that I have been over there in years. Hedgehog and I did not get along at all and I was not the only one. Then we had had enough and Rabtek started the INFO FORUM

I thought everyone had a tool box full of tools. I have been doing my own work since I started on my bicycle. Then I did the top end on my Allstate Cruiser/Vespa around 1965-66.

I use Ebay they seem to have great deals. Simply go to Ebay and type in "polaris slingshot manual". You'll get various sellers. Just be careful to check if its for sale or highest bidder. Also check some sellers are less expensive but charge more for shipping. Some are a bit more but a better deal with free shipping.
