I've been just casually cruising getting used to the machine up and down a dirt road. I don't think I even have 5 miles on it yet it's been running great. Yesterday I went down the road turned around came back and all of a sudden lost almost all my power. It starts and idles but sometimes starts hard and as soon as I put it in gear and hit the throttle most of the time it cuts right out. I was possibly thinking maybe she'll feel through but how could that be with five miles and I put 93 octane in it. Does anyone have any suggestions as what it could be?

Did you fill the gasoline tank from a container holding old gas or gas contaminated by water or debris?

Check the battery voltage, cable connections & grounds. There's a main harness ground under the drivers seat. They will act goofy it the battery isn't fully charged.

The battery terminals were loose on both of my Talons (first one was stolen from the dealership while in for maintenance and they replaced it).

This won't help with this problem but be sure to check the sub trans fluid level, both of mine were delivered 10 ounces low, 1/3 of capacity. :confused:

I would check the ground on frame rail on drivers rear by battery box and also one under the hood and then see if u can either unplug + and - cables or keep it running for ecu to reset.

Mine has 49 miles on it and I have had it stall and be hard starting several times. I had checked the grounds, checked and added a little to sub trans, and of course had fresh fuel. Think about it every time I go to start it.

Mine has done this several times after putting in the reverse trigger harness I've noticed if u put it in natural or park just shows dash on display cycle key a few time everything re registers and go on down the trail I know I have a modification however look and see what your gauge cluster is indicating when it stalls might help
