Wanted to pass this to all. (if you did not know already ). Have the sling panels off for repainting ,priming the frame. Sling is the base 2015. And adding some color
to parts and have been sanding, and painting the swing arm,working outside under a uptop. and we had 3 days of rain showers. Rain stop and went back to finish the swingarm
and was using compressed air on the top 6mm threaded screw bosses and water came out of the rear sensor ,and the 2 cable retainers holes, My Sling did have the swingarm replacement
and the shop did replace the rubber caps. Was not expecting to see that much water come out ! 
Heads Up, Swing arm painting.

Was not expecting to see that much water come out !The hole in the top of the swing arm is threaded and goes all the way through the casting allowing water to get into the swing arm and onto your bearings.. Everyone needs to plug that hole with a screw/bolt of the proper size.

This topic was discussed extensively in another thread...
The discussion regarding the threaded hole on top of the swingarm begins towards the bottom of page 5 of the above-referenced thread

Why would Polaris leave that hole open to the inside knowing water can get in....the bearings aren’t stainless steel...
