Or make sure that the belt tension is correct. The do tend to stretch a little. I'm just over 11K miles and have adjusted it twice.

I do not think mine has been adjusted but twice. At the factory when built and the swing arm replacement

Scott(Dealer) told me its looser than polaris recommend specs, so that should not be it.

It is our experience that the cooler the temperature, the looser the belt, the louder the noise. On our longer rides the noise always diminishes as everything warms up. Keeping our belt tension at, or near, factory specs has overall resulted in a quieter ride, at least for us.
Back to the original topic, we have owned our SlingShot since early 2015, and this is the very first time I have heard about this wheel issue, so, it obviously is not a common occurrence. This information is nice to know but I won't be loosing any sleep worrying about it.
