Dealer locked out of 2020 slingshot with digital wrench. Anybody else ever had this happen? Drove 1 1/2 hours to my nearest dealer to have the paddle shifters installed and autodrive updated. Called me 5 hours later saying first it would not shift then they were trying to update with the digital wrench and now they are locked out. Said it was in some kind of safe guard mode. Had to leave the sling with them until Tuesday. Hopefully they didnt mess up something major and polaris has a fix for them.

Thanks DJohnson, I think I found something I can give my dealer.
2020 Polaris Slingshot R electrical system TSB (Bulletin SLGCalibrate FAQ)
>td >Vehicles covered in this TSB:
Bulletin Date: Dec. 18, 2020 Component: Electrical system Bulletin Summary: 2020 Polaris Slingshot Gt, 2020 Polaris Slingshot R, 2020 Polaris Slingshot Sl. I also found a service bulletin for a PCV Fitting for oil consumption

Hopefully someone can help. My parents just purchased a 2020 Polaris slinghot R model from an individual. I drove it the other day and it shifts terrible. I got to looking and saw that there was a free update to the transmission. according to some articles:
"Fear not, as Polaris has thoughtfully pledged to make transmission reprogramming, hill hold and paddle-shifters available to existing owners. This is great news all around, and should result in both a smoother and more engaging driving experience for everyone. The new calibration will be free for all 2020 AutoDrive owners, and all MY20 owners can add Hill Hold functionality to their Slingshots for $299. If you own a 2020 AutoDrive or are buying a 2021 S or SL AutoDrive and you want to upgrade to shift paddles, the cost is $399."
Anyways, I called my closest dealer which is a about an hour and a half away. They have no idea about this update. They did say if I found any information about this, I could email them. Thanks for any help you can give.

I have been looking at 2020 and newer automatic slingshots for the past 3 months for my parents. What I have found out is that they are expensive and in demand. I did find one for them a couple of weeks ago or I would be definitely calling on this one that popped up yesterday. It is in Florida and know nothing about it except the price is right for an r model automatic.

The peal switch is the only one that I have changed. I am on the fourth set of switches on the master cylinder on Sling I
So did you replace those master cylinder switches with mechanical ones or did you just buy the factory magnetic switches?
-
Has anyone tried these mechanical switches for the brake failure light? These should screw directly in the master cylinder. Would need two but two of these are cheaper than 1 factory magnetic one, and should be more reliable.

What is bad is my favorite riding bike is the one I cannot find a pic of(had to find a generic pic). That Burgman 650 was so much fun.

installed my smoked turn signal lenses and removed the yellow reflector. Removed the stock license plate holder and installed the tucked in plate holder with a small LED above the tire to illuminate the rear end.Man that looks nice. You got a link to that plate holder and light? I am guessing you have to wire the light in? Your new sling is looking great.

Same, Allstate wanted like 1500 bucks a year on my renewal in December. Dan also stated the same to me. We ended up going with progressive for a little over $500 for the year. Dan is the man when it comes to slingshot insurance.

I also use the Lucas Slick mist for all the black pieces. I actually have been using all the Lucas products on the sling. Been very happy with all their products.

I don’t really know how the factory plugs in but I cut the female plugs off each light I took off then ordered 4 of these and made a plug and play style harness.
-
Looks great, but I believe you have it on upside down?
It may work better like that, lol. Most racing wheels have a stripe in the top middle.

I had never upgraded to hid in my factory lights. I put hid bulbs in my center 2 lights when I installed the upper outside drls. Plus with the lower drls my light out put is way better than what I had stock.
-
Very nice, good find.
-
Wow some really nice options. I am just glad they are now offering the lower priced entry model.

Did not have as much time as I wanted this weekend and I am no expert by any means but around town the ride is much smoother. I am trying to read up as much as possible about adjusting the compression and rebound rates on the shocks and how it effects the slingshot. One thing I noticed this afternoon (and it may just be the cooler temps) but the rear end breaks loose way to easy. Anytime from a stop if you give it not even 1/2 throttle the rear end breaks loose always towards the passenger side and the front veers left. It feels like there is not enough weight transferSettings are:
Front: 2C 6R
Rear: 1C 3R.
There really is no way to explain how much better the ride is. It is phenomenal.
Temp today was 63

Parts from DDM came in today. Got swaybar, endlinks, swaybar mounts, and adjustable shocks installed today. Fit and finish were perfect. Ride quality is night and day difference. Thank you again for quality products.
-
I agree, they really need to offer more of an affordable entry line. Hopefully they at least add a manual only option to the sl version.

You can also order these brackets for a 100% factory conversion. I have them but they are not really needed. A small zip tie will work just fine. They allow the upper drl’s to move up and down(or float). If you use the bracket you use the foam tape on both sides. All of my parts are oem and the fit is perfect.

As far as the lower panel accents you will also need”

4 bolts 7520909
2 tuflock rivet 7661855
For the bottom led accent lights I ordered 4 of these so I could make a plug and play style harness.
