Still running like new. The right rear wheel bearing, the left front dif seal, and the rear sub trans seal are being replaced. I really appreciate the Honda reliability and high quality build. The suspension is acceptable with the tender spring cross over rings moved up. The dirty under bed air box intake location had to be snorkeled up under the roof with a pre filter making the factory air filter good for 30,000 miles. With the clean air location the pre filter is ok for over 5,000 miles. All the Honda Side by Sides benefit from a clean air snorkel for high mileage use except for the Pioneer 1000 which has an up front under hood air box intake location. I’ve been running 30 inch tires but the high speed sand wash performance is noticeably better with 28 inch tires. I decided to keep it stock and with 28’s I really don’t need the Turbo when riding with my Turbo friends. I installed Weller Racing springs on the rear for a noticeable improvement and will be doing more testing in the sand wash washboard this fall. I’m driving my 2020 Talon and 2016 Yamaha YXZ frequently now. I’m waiting to see all the 2021 Talons and may buy a 4 seat Talon for next year. My 2020 Talon R needs the left front dif seal replaced. The Part number is superseded to the 2021 dif seal so I expect the new seal will fix this known problem.
