CP’s Talon Rebuild

[Adam490]

Does anyone else get bummed during the week towards the end of a build that the packages are slowing down and continuously looking for emails and texts to see what you’re going to be adding shortly but little there? Asking for a friend. It’s like Christmas ended.

Yep... and the only things left are high dollar stuff, lol.

Almost exactly like Christmas including when the VISA bill comes

I wish the krx was just a little narrower. TripleB just about had me wedge between trees 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I made it through and all that happened was a mud flare ripped off and some sticker damage 🤣🤣🤣🤣

You're the reason I took that trail. I wanted to see if that fat pig could fit through that spot.

That was the best trail yet!

Well I finally pulled the trigger after really wanting to go front intake then settling back into just whatever will fix the problem. After seeing @Bigshow setup that I really liked I almost went that way, still may run that cyclone after he gets some miles and reports back.
In the end I decided to go way of the 10-80 Dirt Sports. Talked a bit with @highpocket74 and ordered that up. Got another one coming for my local friend as well.
Wanted the riser flat black and the base to be direct match to the machine so sprayed up just the base. I’ve personally had great luck with K&N so went that direction with a blue waterproof Filter Wears skin for the wet season but maybe dust too.
Wish I’d done this before the mud got caked in the clips lol. But install is dumb simple and like the product. Gave me an excuse to cut another hole. I really liked how this set far enough back from damage yet wasn’t in your view, I tested a small box before even ordering, and it’s great that way installed.
Always great to support those who support the sport, I know he’s got a lot of time invested in this so thank you for a nice end product.

Thought about adding a little to the fronts for a little more legroom and lay seat back a bit. Don’t know yet, I’ll get some time in it first, I’ve really felt pretty cozy in ones I’ve driven. Saw a few people like it better.

I‘ve been noticing the Talon seats sit me too straight up and pushed forward recently. I met a guy with a Talon X and while I was sitting in the cab, checking out his setup, he asked - ‘notice anything different?’

Yes, I do, I’m not getting pushed forward.

He had 1-1/2” spacers in the front and 1” spacers in the rear, raising his seat. I’m going to try those dimensions, they were just right for me.

I did something similar with mine, raised the front about a 1/2", just about right for me although I would like it to go back a bit more

After finally having a little seat time I do think I’ll start with 1” in front and see what that’s like. We were in the machine for about 10hrs total, it was fairly close to what I’d like.
About my only real complaint driving was the break over angle of the hood, about the only machine to get that really good is Yamaha, but a little height may help just a bit.

Just curious but how tall are you guys?

I'm 6' I put 2 inch risers under my seats. When I'm sitting I can see the top of my front bumper easily.

I’m 6 as well. Is it closer to the Pioneer to see out of?

 

[906UP]

I built some risers, 1" up and 1" back but didn't like them.

If the fat pig was one inch wider all the plastics would have been laying on the trail 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
