[@andyjprice7492]

You did a hero's work today. Thank you.

[@Johnthreesixteen00]

I almost turned the video off. Thanks for the info.

[@tenacious_53]

exactly...he has diarrhea of the mouth !!!

[@stephenstrickland6149]

3 minutes in and we still haven’t talked “maintenance costs for a slingshot”

[@rashadoneal3513]

Thanks lol

[@theazureguy8101]

To compare I purchased my slingshot with 400 miles on it so the 500 mile was done for free along with a ton of recall work. at 5000 miles it was 120. 10,000 it was 230 - the 230 was also a brake flush which is done every 2 years.

[@regancollins1465]

500 mile service is motor oil change/Angle drive change and grease the drive yoke, all easy to do it yourself.

[@1YouTube_you]

Regan Collins doesn’t say in my book to change the angle drive fluid at 500 miles. Where does it say to do that at 500 miles?

[@regancollins1465]

@@1KZbin_you trust me it's in there, i will look it up tomorrow if i have the time, believe me you will want to do that, mine had grease mixed with the oil. Im guessing they put that in the angle/rear end because of new parts rubbing together, keeping break in to a minimum. Plus its easy to do. You can buy a cheap bottle pump with a hose attached at any parts store.

[@dy1837]

@@regancollins1465 i know this is old but i have a 2019 SLR and in the manual you are nowhere near doing the angle drive fluid replacement until 50k miles. BUT i do recommend doing every 15 to 20k miles

[@bk111213]

50,000 miles for the angle drive fluid change on my 17 SL per maintenance schedule.. don’t believe me look it up the manual is available on Polaris website

[@jspell3539]

I think they took you to the cleaners bud. I bought my GT LE at Barton Power Sports and I did the 500 mile first service and the second 5000 mile service and they charged me $120 both times. I was only there for about 30 minutes both times. No way it took 2 hours to service your machine. I wouldnt set foot back in that place if I were you. They gouged you man!!! You should go back and have them explain how Barton can do the same service for a third of the price compared to them. They are both certified Slingshot dealerships. Maybe you can contact Polaris and ask them what the price and timeline should be for a service. Just a thought! Sling on~~

[@backroadswingrider854]

No surprise, took my Goldwing Tourer DCT to the dealer for an oil change. $340. Never ever going back. Shop rates are ridiculous.

[@matt51402]

Great information! I didn't know about the Costco discount.I know this video is 3 years old, however, thanks for the info!

[@Blood_Sweat_Gears]

Oh ya, got to watch.. some dealerships are like vultures around a gut pile.. i am a mechanic, bought a SL slingshot, contacted Polaris just to see about running it through a polaris inspection, however after they informed me that they would require the machine in their shop for a whole month I declined.. not many of these units around here.. maybe three or four in the province.. the mass of dealers have never ever even saw one, but they had it figured that i was going to pay them to educate themselves on their own product.. I dont think so! ..there is no mystery to these machines, besides missing a wheel at back, these are extremely basic cars - extremely basic. If you have tools and mechanical aptitude, you will have no problem working on this machine and the savings from dealership are astronomical.

[@matt51402]

Costco here in Florida doesn't have anything set up with slingshot dealerships!

[@jeffreywashington5461]

I was expecting the initial service to be around $500. I’d gladly accept your coat. Enjoy your ride. I’m hoping to have mine for next riding season

[@GeminiJL2]

Good info- but you got a bat in cave and it was hard to overlook that during the video. Always do a boogie check brother! ;)

[@xxxkeyj]

Boogie check🥴😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ladycruiser65]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@stephentesta9106]

the video was painfully long to get to the info. thank for the warning too. dealers service centers are always a rip off. they make their money basically overcharging the customer. I live in the north east. they act like there won't be a discount. so crazy high pricing continue to scare off wouldbe buyers. thanks again for the info.

[@edrosa3485]

I was in a similar situation with my Triumph Thunderbird where I couldn't get it to the dealer for the 500 mile service. I went ahead and changed the oil myself. I'm not sure about the Slingshot but on the Triumph the oil is a break in oil so it is not meant to provide optimal protection, it is meant to facilitate breakin. Looking to pick up a Slingshot soon, and if I wind up with a new one, that will be my plan. Honestly in my experience, that was about right for a service.

[@hectorvargas3715]

"Slingshot maintenance cost" Not a click bait where I hear you talk about yourself and how you like it.

[@goatboycasto]

It’s a Chevy motor? Why at 500 miles does it need changed ? Chevy cars don’t need changed at 500 miles..

[@ricardocarter6989]

Slingshots do. They have to get the metals out of the oil... at least that is what they say

[@angelamador9187]

yep!

[@ranger0793]

2 hours of labor is reasonable, 30 minutes to change the oil and an hour and a half for the check ride. Nice video you shared a lot and everyone should watch to find out how to save a bunch on the purchase. I am guessing the price you paid for service was with your discount?

[@aldwynsamuel8319]

Goddamn your long winded, I wasted my my coffe break for this ????

[@ladycruiser65]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mosesblount1191]

Cosco purchase plan huh? 🤔 Thank you for that information. I'm not a Cosco member but, I'm a about to be.

[@tenacious_53]

just remember how the cosco purchaser got treated at the dealer !

[@showaltermicro]

5:33 in and still no price- get to the point -shit

[@davidoliver8703]

Nice clean video!!!

[@SQUEEZEBEATS]

I'm a month and a half too late on your video. I purchased a slingshot without the Costco discount. Bummer

[@BillyandBobbySlingshotShow]

Don't feel bad, they have since discontinued the program for Slingshots.

[@ryanjeffrey3953]

Drag it out a little longer Jesus Christ

[@tenacious_53]

a 15 min video to say what should take 1 min....ridiculous ! btw, You can buy 5 qts top quality oil for about $18 (walmart), a good filter for less than $10 and skip the washer (reuse the original), do it yourself for less than $28 at home in your driveway.

[@willworknow]

What was the shop...I want to avoid them.

[@thomasbrown5574]

The prices don't seem that unreasonable for the oil and filter, assuming that you are talking Mobil 1. That stuff is about $10 a quart, and the filter for the 2.0L ecotech on my Saab is about $15. That being said, that stuff is good for 18,000 miles. If they are putting dino in and charging you $10 a quart then they are screwing you. If they are putting synthetic in and telling you that it needs to be changed every 5,000 miles then they are screwing you.

[@tenacious_53]

to each their own but i prefer to do my own service on my car & motorcycle at home. a top quality oil like Quakerstate 5w-30 (5 qts) full synthetic cost about $18 at walmart, there are plenty of good filters for less than $10.

[@1funcar]

A 15 minute video that was at least 13 minutes too long.

[@jamest5788]

Jesus Christ, get to the damn point. Babbling on an on an on.

[@robbieburris2333]

I want one but I don't wanna pay 20000

[@rosemarieardito3676]

Can Am Spyder cost 425.00

[@Josttx]

Cheaper than Harely... $484 for oil change

[@toddkostron4557]

Thanks for talking slowing. Easier to understand

[@123456789355ful]

A Total Rip OFF////

[@1YouTube_you]

WTF? Omg man! They seen you coming! There’s a sucker born every minute. I think you got took sucka!

[@adamwright6429]

don't waste your time 15 minutes of blabber....all you may learn is 500 miles maintenance cost at dealer / oil change 308 bucks. nuff said 50 bucks tops if you do it yourself.

[@nadiastringer6498]

its so hard to watch with that booger hanging out his nose man smh

[@ladycruiser65]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@bamwalker3633]

Cents

[@johnarmstrong8466]

You got ripped off

[@johncarro5755]

Way too much talking about crap not related to the service cost…

[@drazen33333]

you have a bat in the cave; very distracting

[@hectorvargas3715]

Don't act old by talking too much.

[@jonathanr7520]

Talk way too much
