Brakes

[vince.clemens]

I’m surprised no one has said anything but the brakes on these things suck. Has anybody come up with a resolution? I see that they make rotor kits, but I have built cars for years and know that a rotor kit doesn’t help you need a big booster to make that happen

There’s been posts complaining about the brakes.
They could definitely use lots of improvement. After nearly 2 years of driving this machine, I’ve pretty much got used to their sponginess. Wouldn’t mind anything that could improve them though.

is the master cylinder upgrade worth it?

I can't find one in stock to try it

 

[Bugeyes]

I did the upgrade and it is worth it... Stops like a car now.

So I guess what I’m hearing is the slingshot master cylinder is a much better master cylinder and bigger and is a bolt on option. I may try that.

Upgrade lol

It's a verb... improve (equipment or machinery) by adding or replacing components. Haha

Polaris Slingshot SLR Front Brake Master Cylinder (Polaris part number: 1912549). The video to do this is here:

Polaris Part number changed to 1914620. I think that's why the posted number is out of stock.

Is that the shorter one or the long one. Some guys were buying a longer one that wouldn't fit

Does replacing the master cylinder affect the factory or extended warranty?

If you are worried about it take it back off before you take it in. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes to swap out. If the problem isn't even brake related they probably won't even notice

Good question, im seeing the PN that ends with 76 is the longer one.

I was able to get the 1912549, but accidentally ended up with 2.
Anyone want this one?

Does anyopne know what the difference is between the 15-17 slingshot part 1911776 and the 18-22 part 1914620? They look the same so just wondering.

Thanks

About 1 inch li length. 76 is to long hits the spring on shock.
