I'll buy it and keep it in the family

Call rb3 and get the wheel adapters for the wolverine and all 3 can run the same tires and wheels! That's what I did anyway. One 28" spare fits them all.

I’m planning on it I’m always ooking for a black set for that one, just missed some real cheap on FB.
When I sheaved it I set it for 27’s with the dry clutch so I think it’ll be good. Gotta feeling that thing would be potent at St. Marie’s. How you like the 28’s?

Another 3.5hr wash tonight just getting mud off, I’ll detail it tomorrow.


pleased to say that only damage I got this weekend was some more bark in the tires and somehow bent the exhaust tip from @Tramguage1 a little. That’s good news because two big weekends in a row coming next weekend.
And the electrical taped up cv held together. Looks like some parts showing up next two days and some today.

Well I checked oil last night and doesn’t seem it used any over last 550 of hard miles I’ve recently put on her. I did not change oil when I bought it and as stupid as I know it is I hadn’t checked differentials.
So tonight she gets some love. Ya ya I know I’ll get some hell from the oil guys but I’m using what I’ve been using in everything.

i use the same for engine/trans but in synthetic it works fine
used to run that exact oil in all wet clutch machines

Just installed @highpocket74 riser kit. Direct bolt in kit and so far just sitting in it and ripping around the motocross track out back I like it.
Was hesitant because I was already pretty cozy in the Talon but didn’t like the break over angle over the hood view while in the technical stuff. Talon just isn’t good there but I think this’ll help. Actually a little more comfortable so I’m happy so far. Was concerned with headroom as I’m over 6’ and have the headliner with speakers but seems to plenty of room I think. Trail testing in a couple days.

My only complaint was it needs the plastic covers on front seat, I know he’s working on that so I just temporarily glued stock ones down. Could easily be rough on calves without. No biggie for now. Just glad to have an easy fix for the view over hood.

Please keep me posted on what you think about these seat risers. I tried to keep them simple and universal for both Talon front seats. My buddy and I are working on passenger replacement plastic caps. The first ones will almost certainly be 3d printed but he's a guru at that.

Ya yell at me when you get that done. Good for now, think I’ll like them. Daughter said she really liked them too. I’ll report back.

 

[CumminsPusher]

Oh and an update on the 22 dash cluster.
None of the 4 clusters (Pioneer-Talon) will directly plug in. Either by themselves or with the factory pigtails for either machine.

I'll be looking for these to come back in stock to get some! It wouldn't let me put my email in to notify me when they come back available, but that's not a biggie!! Thanks.

The shop has my order so as soon as they get to cut them and powder coat them I'll be ready to ship. Hardware is to be delivered today. When I get the plastic cover figured out and ready to ship I'll let everyone here know.

Edit: Shop says cutting these around May 27, then bending and paint. Looking at early June to ship. That may give me enough time to figure out the plastic cover replacement.

Runs great with them. And the little extra width makes it super planted.

That notification should have worked. It has in the past. Try again later.

One of the things I hate worst on Sxs’s is replacing the cv boots. Normally I just buy new axle because of it but got it done this time. Really trying to stay up with damage on this one.

 

[P1K5Dave]

Ha, I'm with you CP. The only boot bands I've found adequate are the Oetiker's that come stock on the machine, and even they are a pita.

I've used a bad boot or such as an excuse to upgrade to Rhino 2.0s three times now, figuring I'd work on them later and have a backup axle.

I now have a full set of 2.0s on the machine, and a full set of backups. lol

I hate the bands too, wind up just using good hose clamps then offset the bolts on each side. Do that on tie rod boots too. Seems to work fine and much easier to get off later. Pretty sure can do clutches faster and less mess😳 oh well done now.

No worries. I will try it again. I am a persistent little bugger by nature!! 🤓

Well…out absolutely giving this b**** hell. I know I b**** about the I-4wd and there’s other machines but not for me. Always said I’m Honda guy, and had more issues then anyone on this site but never sold out. I’m STILL a Honda guy and absolutely love the new machine. Don’t need smoother or easier, none of that matters when throttle down. I love this machine!! No regrets.
no one else was up to going on this particular night ride, f*** it it’s a Honda I’ll get back to camp. Love this machine,I needed this or was going to lose interest. It’s not a half ass machine it wants to rip, after 7 years and 4 Pioneers so do I!
Cheers!! Life is good😍

I hear ya, Brother!! These 6 speed, dual range, paddle shiftin' dirt karts are more fun than should be legal.

Always cover yer brake, you never know when the trail's gonna take a bad turn.

One for the haters -
