24,136 Mile Talon Report

[hondabob]

Still in like new condition. Depending on the 2022 and 2023 Honda models I may not sell this one until 50,000 miles. Honda did a great job except for the air filter intake location, harsh suspension, and front drive shaft U-joints. Those problems are fixable. Try fixing a belt drive. On Polaris rides I ride in the back and close the gates. I hate to have to go looking for a broke down RZR. Sometimes the RZR'S need to be trailered out so I installed a trailer hitch.

I have have had 10 Honda side by sides and never had a break down, same with 2 Kawasaki Teryx models. All 3 of my Polaris broke down. One was always broke so I needed 3 so I would have something to ride. The fun factor was there and I'm too old to wait on anything. My friends weren't too happy about me buying the poor quality Polaris RZR'S. One friend buys a new RZR every 3,000 miles to avoid the break downs. My Polaris dealer won't take a RZR trade in with over 3,000 miles due to the high mileage.

You put on some serious miles, is that about 2k a month?

What kind of riding?

Nice to hear of 24k trouble free miles. When did you have the valves adjusted, and if so how big a job was it?

Very cool!

Honda needs to buy this machine back from you when you are done with it at 50k miles and put it on display somewhere.

I will be dead of old age and natural causes before I put that many miles on my 2019 X

Your doing it wrong. 🤣

Hondabob told me "Your biggest problem is going to be living long enough to wear that Talon out". I am not sure if he thought I was in that bad of shape, or he thought the Talon was that good! 🤷‍♂️

That’s good news for us talon owners. Do you have any pics on how to fix the front drive shaft i joints?

 

[Jmaxx1502]

U-joints. If not pictures then advice on how to fix.

Tack weld the caps to the ears.

There is a thread about it around here somewhere...

Bob - I can’t be the only one wondering what oil you use, how often you change it and if you change both filters every time.

I don’t want to turn this into another ‘OMG - not another oil thread’ but methinks it’s a valid question in this context.

Thanks for the information. Wonder if the KRX guys can make the same claims????
