  • CLUTCH MC LEAK?

    NO aftermarket cap,,OEM,,and it does address my issue,,thanks..i went to gm parts online and found the solstice one..for about $60-70 ...the removal and install looks to be pretty straight forward. just an FYI,,it seems from my observation its more like a weep, but only when running as i looked at the unit,,you can see fluid from area of the "O" rings and subsequent spraying onto the firewall..making a mess,,:LOL i was wondering if polaris had a lot of complaints about this item and are fixing it? haha....ok ok dont laugh...:)

  • CLUTCH MC LEAK?

    like many here i have this slow weep in my clutch mstr. cyl...does anyone know will this be covered for replacement by dealer/polaris? and..is there a new version of this item that is "fixed" and will not leak? or aftermarket item that will fit with little or no modification..thanks

  • cruise? brake?

    BIGDOG. i had some sensors changed when i went in for angle drive/steering bolt/ and something else? but recall stuff..and it was working fine,,until recently..and i came across this fix? the magnet brake switch fails...so i changed it so this napa mechanical switch. it has been fine and no dash lights till this weekend,, but it was not switch failure, it was the bracket that holds switch moved ever so slightly, causing my issues i posted about,,,so i installed a lock washer under the bolt that hold this bracket,,and i am in trial run,,haha now..as i call it shakedown cruise...as soon as i get update on it holding i will post..as far as polaris knowing or doing anything..?? i dont know..no issues with E brake...i dont know if that causes lights on dash if its not working correct,,i do not use my E brake that much..i found that when i do engage it...then i have squeeling noise from someplace back there.

    Suggestion:
    Do a simple check of your brake system. Back your Sling up toward a wall or put something up to reflect your brake lights..... hit and release your brakes.... check to make sure your brake lights go off every time you release. I suspect your brake lights are hanging on and possibly energizing while you are driving.... I had an aftermarket third brake light flasher that did not play well with my system and triggered the traction control along with brake lights staying illuminated after release. Your installed brake switch adjustment might be wonk...


    yeah,,this was the issue,,i added a lock washer to hold down bolt,,time will tell...lol

  • cruise? brake?

    ok made it home safely...so here is the story,,drove today,,on cruise no issues....3/4 way there,,,on cruise,,the cruise shuts down?..i tried it again..it went on (the green cruise light) for about a second.....tried again same result,,tried 3rd time,,and nothing...fine....i will run without it...still no dash lights at all...no stabilitrak,,or traction control lights showing up, no codes..parked bike. On way home..bike is fine for short time,,,20-30mins...doing highway speed,,and then bike starts slowing down slightly as if i let off the gas for a sec,,(but i didnt), kept my foot on gas and bike speed went down and up and down then ran normally, (i am not using cruise control at this time) then bike slows almost the same feeling as if i WAS using cruise and it cut off like sensor went out?..then bike ran fine for about 5 mins...then it did same thing,,,stutter like cruise disconnect..almost like gas filter had a piece of dirt,,,?? anyways,,this kept up all the way home,,,then about 3 miles from home the traction control light lit up..squiggly lines with car, I then stopped for gas,got back in bike and the squiggly lines stayed on (usually after restart the squiggly lines turn off with reset, not this time....then 1 mile later,,making a turn to home,,the squiggly lines, diappear?! ..then i was home and parked? ..so now i have to back up a bit with this,,what i did 2 weeks ago,,,i took off that magnetic switch and put that NAPA mechanical switch on? i thought it was that,,but i looked and saw nothing So is this a SENSOR for traction/stabilytrak? issue?....and can i repair/replace this myself..or does anyone here know how its done and can help me do this? thanks..Also i am out of warranty,,but before i got to dealer..try to fix me self? thanks for any help...:)

  • WELTER or OTHER EXH?

    Wolf,,OEM,,then took that off because of heat..my OL was bitchin like crazy..and i went to that FRONT mounted one? forget the name,,got it used,,and in 30days it fell apart..then back for a while to OEM...now i have so called custom install under the frame and out back...sounds great. and no issues for close to 8 months...but the friggin speed bumps here in fla are murder...sooooo i am lookin for options that wont break the bank.....maybe i can find a good shop to go above frame to rear..but i would need that part to move the radiator pipe over i think...?
