I feel I must inform you folks about service/warranty work you should expect if your buying a first year Slingshot. The first few years might get very frustrating with dealers and thier service department if you need to take the slingshot back for a problem.
These dealers aren't going to have a clue on how to fix these for awhile . Sure, they will have a tech take a computer class on how to work on them, but trust me when I tell you "you most likely will know more about the Slingshot than your sevice Tech for quite sometime".
I have been there and done that with a new road product launched from a ATV, snowmobile company . I own the first year Spyder and trust me, I'm telling you the truth. Expect your slingshot to be put on the back burner for service in the fall right before snowmobile season and in the spring for ATV's. Most likely your tech will cringe everytime one comes in for service for the first few years until they learn how to fix them..
I'm hoping I'm wrong, but if it's like the service tech's for the Spyder when it first came out in 2008 be prepared to grow and learn with your dealer.
BTW.......If it drives like I hope it will, I'm possibly selling my Spyder for a down payment and not heeding my own new product warning I just posted. LOL LOL
