@UK _Paul:
I'm not sure if I can help you with your Radio problem but perhaps you'll try this:
Adjustment of Radio Settings
Press VOL- till Radio is Off.
Switch off Ignition.
Wait 5sec.
Press PRESET and hold the button pressed.
Switch on Ignition.
You should get the following message.
Press MODE a few times until you see
Choose Europe 50.
Now switch off Ignition.
Hopefully you receive now more channels than before…
THX for this great information. "Air intakes" are the solution!
Highest speed was 190km/h (119mph). I used 5th gear. Top Speed you should reach in 4th but it isn't really a fun. Till 160km/h (100mph) it's fine, but higher the plastic covers of the front are trembling horrible.
Video on Nuerburgring is planned but the last weekends it was closed for practice (24h race last weekend). First I'll visit Bilster Berg, a new racetrack 1 hour away from here:
Racetrack Bilster Berg Drive & Ressort
Keep you informed.
Hey guys,
I haven't new pictures yet... but maybe a new video (from Sunday in Germany) is also interesting:
or Autobahn ride:
Enjoy it!
Phillip, you are 100% right. I had the same idea to import by myself a basic version without entertainment console and upgrade it...but the registration and missing warranty let me buy an official one...with not proper working equipment and nobody who takes care about warranty...that the reason to be angry for me and I guess also for UK Paul.
@philip_mustang: I got the confirmation from 2 different dealers that the central store is located in Belgium. Slowly I get the feeling that Polaris here in Europe isn't really interested in selling the Slingshot. That will also explain that they didn't spend any money in comercials, don't get in touch with any kind of customers... I heard that EU got 200 SL models 2016.5 and we se now, that only a few are sold. The price is much higher than in the States: for example Austria € 36.000.- compaired to Germany with € 29900.- for exact the same model (only SL and SL LE are availible). Perhaps Polaris in Medina don't know what really happens here in EU and why they don't sell it here...
@mytoy THX for your "motivation" 
@dangerdarrell Great THX. Tomorrow I fly to Dubai and have a meeting with their local dealer....not about my problems but I'll talk also about the poor European Service. After my return I give the local dealer the chance to clear the case but I'm afraid that I won' be 100% satisfied...in case that this happens I'll try your phonenumbers. ...is there also a email adress availible? English isn't my mother language and it is much easier to explaine technical detail in a mail than via phone (sometimes I'm missing the right words).
@UK_Paul The Polaris headquarter for the EU is in Switzerland which isn't a member of EU...interesting...the Import was legalizied in Spain (check your papers: E9 means Spain)...I heard about a big store in Belgium...sounds really international but who is responsible for customer care??? I'm afraid >>> only the single dealer...I don't like this idea.
@UK_Paul: If you need support in this case I'll beside you...also your analyse about the fact, that Polaris push all on the dealership (which is really rare in EU) I'll follow, cause I've the same feeling.
@philip_mustang: About the cost's for the both switches: I won't pay anything till end of warranty in summer next year...but it shows a little bit the mentalaty of some dealers here. Also the price which is 300% higher than in the states, isn't acceptable > if I need spareparts in the future I'll order directly in the USA.Normal price +10% toll+ 19%tax+ shipping cost are much cheaper that 4 O- rings for €36.60... Same with the radio: I only got the information of an other dealer that the radio is adjustable...when I asked how I heard "the sound of silence". No reaction...
Different dealer told me after a testride: Mushy brakes are totally normal but for 300 bugs on top I will get different brakepads (I guess hawk (market price here is $100 not 300))...When I told him that it is charateristic for air in the brake line when you have to press the brake pedal twice, he told me that he is the craftsman, not me 
After my question "is it is safe to drive the SL with a brake failure alarm??" I heard >>> no..okay, than Polaris should pay the transport >>>no, I should drive carefully and slowly.
Horrible answers!!!... and when you write this to Polaris Germany, they inform you to contact your dealer.
I thought that this american vehicle is a really great idea ,a high quality product with a good service and not cheap, nice painted China Products, lousy assembled and dropped on a market with untrained dealers. Isn't it? The regular price here in Germany is higher than € 29000.- (for a strange brake system, not proper working radio, a few major recalls and waiting time for a repair over 4 weeks)...a lot of money for such a trouble...for the same price you'll get a few lightly used sportscars...but I wanted this unique thing...let's fight for our rights!
BTW: lovely outfit Darth Vader!
Hello Paul,
you're in a much better situation than me: it isn't just the radio which causes trouble...my "brake issue lamp" started to flash now 3 weeks ago but I don't get a date to repair it til 17.05. In this time I'm not availible so the next date will be 29.05....that mean I can't run my vehicle over 2 month...Polaris Service Germany told me also I have to contact my dealer, they are out. Now I got a box with both sensors and seals inside from my dealer and directly the bill about €160.-(roundabout $170.-, the price in USA is $80.-). I directly called them if I'm allowed to install the sensors by myself but the answer made me totally pissed off: in case I install them by myself the warrenty will be deleted.I wait now til 29.05. if all my open points are sucsessfully closed, otherwise I'll visit my lawer.
My opinion is: a great idea behind this vehicle but the dealers are completely overwhelmed with this new product...it's a pitty.
How did you played? 
@mondanai I was looking at your pictures. The 1320 exhaust is sweet. I did notice that you do not have the "optional" top support on the exhaust. It gives it a little more support. You may want to consider using one. Here is the link to 1320: 1320 Performance Polaris Slingshot V1 and V2 muffler support brace
THX for this information, I will modify it a.s.a.p.
Welcome to the family @mondanai . Your Sling is coming along nicely. I really like your steering wheel. I haven't seen that one before.
I too hope you can get your issues taken care of. Don't hold your breath on a Polaris fix for radio reception(some say the back up camera being replaced fixed it). There have been members that fixed their stock radio reception with aftermarket antennas, powered antennas and a few other tricks I can't remember at the moment.
the steering is made by Momo, Italy. Like Sparco parts it's really common here...

THX for the warm welcome
Hi EU guys (Philip and Paul) and folks in the US,
it was a pleasure to read your report and I feel like Tom Hanks in Cast away when he found "Wilson". I'm not longer alone with my beautiful, but "trouble causing" baby.
I'm from Germany and also got a few of the same experiences, Paul talked about...strange dealerships, no support from Polaris Germany / from the dealer, no proper working radio, 2 weeks with a brake failure lamp and no help from the dealer...(it makes me p... off, sorry for that), but I think that here in Europe is nobody really interested to sell this vehicle and to solve the problems for their customers...it's a pitty.
THX for the warm Welcome, Merry Xmas, Happy hoplidays and a happy new year from cold Germany...wish me luck to find the right SLR here in Europe in 2017
