My Sling is at 3500 miles. Had a service done at 1200 miles and everything was great. In the last couple thousand miles my power steering went out, back wheel is making squeaky sounds and now the motor is making these gurgling sounds and sounding more like an old lawn mower but the oil level is fine. I'm having it looked at once Polaris approves the power steering repair, but wanted to find out of anyone else has had the engine sound experience?
Engine sound question.

Needs some video, very hard to say anything just by description.
Are you stock ? Intake ? Exhaust, headers ?
How does the engine idle ? What fuel are you using ?
When does it make that sound you describe as odd (acceleration, idle, cruising ?) -
I will post a video tomorrow. Thank you for the reply.
I use 93 octane for fuel and everything is stock.
It sounds pretty rough when idling, like it's about to run out of fuel.
Acceleration and idling it makes the same sound. -
Check for a missing or cracked rubber cap as depicted in pic. Backside of air intake throat. These caps occasionally fail or get knocked off. Good idea to zip tie if it is still there.

I keep trying to load the video but it wwon't work.
@'airoutlaw I tried finding the place you were looking for and didn't see it. So maybe it is missing. -
