    I see the blue line generating klingon is still hanging on.


    Wish the United Federation of Planets would do something with him...


    Neither Charmin nor sandpaper have worked.

    The swing arm moves left or right on the swing arm bolt.


    Would be the same if you could adjust the rear wheel belt sprocket left or right.


    Never recall meeting Bill Hahn.

    But, based on his past performance here and on the dark side forums...

    If Bill Hahn is selling it, don't buy it.

    I have the all time winner of videos. If this video doesn't go viral and hit a million views then I give up. This is the best video ever.


    Please share it with my YouTube link.


    Just some good ol' boys...


    and at least one getting drunk.


    But it won't go viral cause....


    It didn't have anything about Mama, trains, trucks, or prison.

    The only problem with the Pedal Commander is that it adds an additional electronic input to the primary electronic throttle.


    A new vehicle to you...

    Gas and brake pedal respond different...

    Steering is maybe heavy...

    You learn and become accustomed to it and then you can actually drive it.


    Pedal Commander is the same as the new vehicle...

    You find a setting to meet your normal driving requirement.

    You learn and become accustomed to that setting and then you can actually drive it.



    People problem.

    You hit the twisties and choose to change the PC setting...

    Congratulations! You just put your ass in a new vehicle and have no idea what model vehicle your sitting in.


    Electronics break.

    If primary throttle fails, you may still have limp mode.

    If the Pedal Commander fails...

    Worst case and to this I do not know, you lose primary throttle.


    That's my opinion of the Pedal Commander.


    To those that choose a pedal controller

    People like to play with toys...

    Play with it to find your setting...

    And never play with it again.

    Get well EjFord !



    Like you, I look around and notice all my friends are getting old...

    Then I look in the mirror and think, and the bastards are dragging me with them.


    Only one thing left for us to do...

    We gotta get younger friends.


    Have a good day EJ

    Sounds to me like the starter is possibly locking up on the flywheel or failing to mesh proper.

    Possible loose bolt on starter or bad spot on flywheel.

    High Amp draw of the starter during the lock up would cause lights to drop out.

    Internal short in starter would cause same.



    Just an opinion from way over here.

    Had this problem...


    And just once I would like to answer a question with a simple yes or no.


    So...

    Basics.


    That coolant bottle on the firewall that everyone refers to as an overflow tank is a coolant supply reservoir.

    And contrary to everyone's thinking...

    Coolant only moves in this reservoir during expansion/contraction, and burps.

    Water (coolant) seeks its own level.

    The top of the water jacket of the Slingshot engine sits higher than the radiator but lower than the coolant reservoir.

    All coolant systems burp when pressure exceeds the cap capacity...

    It's the foaming antifreeze systems that get noticed.

    You can Google foaming antifreeze causes.


    What's the fix you ask?


    Get rid of all the air in the system below the coolant reservoir.


    On a cold engine...

    Check for any coolant system leaks.

    Check all clamps are secure.


    If necessary, bleed the coolant system again.

    Raise the left wheel a couple inches, don't get crazy. Drive up on a two by four or similar.


    Once again, on a cold engine!

    Remove coolant tank cap.

    On the left side of the engine, remove the steam line above the radiator hose. Have a rag handy.


    Using a clear tube on that fitting allows you to see the fluid, retain your overflow for use, and lessens the mess.

    Add 50/50 coolant to your tank and watch bleed line til free of bubbles.


    Put your steam line back to the port and tighten that clamp.


    As for the DDM Coolant tank...

    Half bubble on the window.

    Too high and steam has no where to go.

    Too low and you may introduce air back to the engine water jacket.



    Gonna add a samowens44 video in here to shorten some people's reading...

    Guess you didn't take the short road.


    Polaris has changed the Angle drive fluid to 85W-250 for ALL Slingshots. The New part # is 2889023. API GL-5. This was originally for the 20/21 models but no more. It is now for All.

    Question is, where can you get it other than Polaris? :thumbsup:

    Polaris is still trying to build a successful Slingshot model.

    They have attempted to build a Slingshot since 2014 with the release of the 2015 model.

    They have been recalling the Slingshot every year since.

    Steering,, brakes, lights, wheels, angle drive x2, seats, seat belts. j-case fuse box, fuel line connector...

    And now they have determined the correct gear oil.


    I'll be your guinea pig, babe.
