Can anyone tell me what is causing this type of tire wear on my front tires? Tires have about 11,000 miles on them. pressure always checked and run at about 28 PSI. Thanks
Needs an alignment, from the first picture looks like the tread is cupped on the right side also. Get yourself a laser alignment
Display Moreyes it is basically slave labor - and its the root of the problem. The right doesn't want to stop the illegals because they see it as potentially hurting business and the left doesnt want to stop them because they see them as potential political supporters.
We the people need to willing to pay the higher price of goods and services that would be required to be able to have these employers pay a fair and legal wage to entice Americans to do these jobs and then we need to put business out of business that continue to hire people not allowed to legally work in this country - We cant have it both ways, we cant demand low prices for produce and at the same time expect the farmers to hire Americans for a fair wage - - it just wont work
If we really want illegal immigration to stop we need to go after the employers who hire them, and make programs where the needed people can come in legally to work and then go home when they are done - - and we also need to accept the higher prices this will cause
if the jobs are not here then the reason most come will not exist - and then ICE can focus on the remaining who are coming for other reasons and stopping them will be easier
The American buying public can control this by themselves without the politicians, but they would rather have cheap priced goods and the lost jobs
perhaps we should just forget the wall and put the money into developing tech that will do this to illegal border jumpers - - if it just happened every now and then for others to see it would be one hell of a deterrent
Kind of like a drone with fire power. Open Season
Only the money people can have walls, it is OK for them.
Pulled the slingshot out of winter hibernation today and found a problem. When I parked it the gas tank was full and showed full on the display. Now it's still full of gas but shows empty on the display with the light illuminated.
Anyone else had this issue?
I do not know which battery you have but the place to start is pull the battery and clean the post and charge the battery. Oh, also take the negative cable loose from the frame and clean it and clean where is is hooked to the frame. This is the starting point to try and clear your problem.
Happy Birthday Patrick
Judge Jenneen (wrong spelling I know) has not been kicked off of FOX yet. I do not know the details.
I ride all through the winter......And my S/S after the salt used on the road for snow/ice removal is crushed to a fine white powder by cars driving over it looks like i sprayed the S/S with talcum power....And then i get the belt squealing.....If i spray the belt with Dawn mixed water the squealing stops ....A few times while driving the squealing came back....And then i purposely ran through a puddle so the back wheel would hit it.....And within a few feet the squealing stopped .....I'm convinced its dirt/fine dust that is the cause...
Watch out for the frame with the salt. Even without the salt it starts to rust.
Display MoreI'll leave it to others to comment on the "my entire back end is always dusty."
Otherwise................
As the SlingShot is traveling down the road a vacuum is being created that naturally draws in dirt and dust. I installed a rear fender hoping to keep the rear area cleaner, but that vacuum defeats that purpose. I have seen where some folks have invented their own small deflectors that route air into the area and they say it does help to keep the rear area, (including the wheel), cleaner.

Yea Right. Just use F-11 and the dust does not stick like with regular wax and just wipes off. I just did this.
We just need to do one in Maggie Valley and make sure we get the audio.
You have already did this twice that I know of. Are you just trying to impress someone else! Are you in brain fade
I just found out I was running a little to low air pressure in my rear tire. The center was not wearing enough.
did someone say burnout!?
Its not my best handy work.... but its in the top 10 ......
You wonder if they can track you?
Can the top be simply stored behind the passenger seat -- not in the compartment?
I think I recall Patrick saying that it would go in the compartment behind the seat, when not used
1964 it was the Cruisar then in I think 1971/72 the CB 450. Then in 1975 I had the fifth Gold Wing sold in South Carolina when they came out. Then traded for the V-65 Honda as soon as they came in at the same dealer, now that was a Hot Rod, fastest thing on the street until the FJ-1100 came out. Then the dirt bikes came ( to many to name) and I supported up to 5 of them at a time. Then in 2013 I bought the Harley Softail Slim that I still have with 20,000 miles on it that were put on in the first year.
FunCycle I just 'right clicked' the picture than 'left clicked' copy than go to where you want to go and should be able to 'right click' and paste. that's how I copied and pasted the picture from post above.
I give up! At least I did get it in my photo folder, do not ask me how I did it.
Just drive the HELL out of it and when it breaks, "FIX IT"
Dry lube is our friend. I know dry lube with graghite works very well, but it's usually black and messy. I'm going to switch to teflon for my next spray.
I have never used any lube on the bike belts or the Slingshot but I have used the dry lubes on a lot of other stuff, like lock sets in you doors for one.
I'm just guessing it was also fast red....
How do I add this picture to my galley? I did get the picture here but cannot get in my Gallery
Well, FunCycle, like you, we too have been very fortunate ourselves not to suffer many of the common ailments associated with the SlingShot over the years, but it doesn't hurt to understand how to correct a problem if/when, one finally pops up, does it?
I have done my own maintance on my cars, motorcycles and even built a couple of Hot Rods it does not hurt to know how. Back in electronics school years ago an instructor told us that there was no way to remember everything. The important part was knowing where to look for the information that you needed to do the job and that my friends is the most important part.
You know, in 76,000 miles I very rarely even check the belt except to clean it and have never adjusted it. Some people!
