Any help. I know nothing about engines all I know is my slingshot is 4 mo tha old with 1000 miles and it been to the shop 3 times and now I have error code 65565. Says in book it's a fuel trim issue. Can I still drive it?

Can I fix or clear it myself or gotta go back to the shop

Are these slingshots a piece if crap and I should go back to my can am which had no issues.

Your still under warrantee --- turn key off/on a couple of times should clear code. Drive it --- Bought mine Feb 2015 and have put over 66,000 miles in the seat. Yes I have had some issues and they have been well handled by my dealer. Love it more each mile I ride it.

Just say'n .....

You need the Polaris diagnostics tool to clear it from the ECU but the error code 65565 typically indicates an out of range reading on the O2 sensor or an O2 sensor fault. It is also a common code to see on low mileage units and usually clears itself and the corresponding engine light after a bit ...

You can find discussions like this one using Google or another search engine .. the sites search function sucks ....

Fill it up with some top tier premium ..... start it from dead cold ... don't touch the throttle ... let it idle through two cycles of the colling fan.. shut it off and let it sit for five minutes ... this will base line the ECU trim tables and may help ....

Your Slingshot is 4 months old with 1000 miles and only under warranty until October ...... ?

For a code to clear it takes a few starts from cold ..... stopping, shutting it off for a few minutes and re-starting won't do it ...

If its not acting funny, just threw the code, then read through other posts where riders have had the same to make you feel better then just drive it .... with this set up running on a marine ECU using only MAP and AIT sensors without the MAF sensor like cars with this motor sometimes the ECU sees some weird O2 readings and throws a code .... as others who's Slingshots are a bit sensitive have experienced it seems to settle down after a few thousand miles ....

Or if you are feeling the Can Am bug again you could just put a match to it ..... its up to you ...... :smuggrin:

We agree with Ej Ford and feel the same as he about our SlingShot, but after rereading your eight previous posts over the past 10 months where you are still questioning your purchase of a SlingShot, then I need to agree with you, maybe you should sell it and return to your Can Am.

No. I guess the standard warranty is 2 yrs. I'm being told it's a fuel trim issue and I can bring to dealer and wait a fee weeks till they can get to it. ( that's why I'm so upset with slingshot seems like you cant get local service). Anyway. Or I can disconnect the neg battery terminal for 30 min and see if that will kick the code off. If reappears then I'll need to take for survice.

Is it hard to get to the cable videos I seen on you tube say you need little hands.

Also is a 2017 battery maintence free ?

There are some GREAT dealers in the Polaris net work --- what's your locations? Maybe one of the guys who have been around for a while can lead you to a great dealer.

I had the same error code for no reason. It cleared it's self with doing anything.

 

[golfer1903]

How long did it take.

Also can I take the three big fuses off for 30 min then reinstall? I think there called ocm? Or. Something

Reviving this thread to show my solution. Before you run to the dealer, put in half a bottle of RXP fuel additive and ride it for about 50 miles. It will probably clear the code at the next start up. I just did this on my 18 SLR and had a similar problem on my 05 Accord which RXP fixed.
