ROFL, it's the road that connects two areas that have been forgotten since velociraptors roamed the Earth.

Nah, I’m sure that’s just a coincidence!

Too many paved trails! 😂

Had a great Wife Bday and Father’s Day ride. Laid down about 170 miles. Towed friends Pioneer probably 30 of them because the o2 sensor fell out and treads were toast so it was loud and running funny. Talon towed it just fine.
Did notice the left tie rod pretty bent, upper ball joint done and right front wheel bearing is junk. Not sure what else. Got the big zip ties and fixed stuff all over before the trip, I try not to litter lol. She’s getting pretty noisy my wife noticed, needs some love really soon but she was again trustworthy. Friend put 33’s on his Talon, I’m a little jealous but just don’t have the extra cash right now. Really liked it though

Oh and as a side note the Talons got much better fuel mileage then the Pioneers. Like 50% better, even the 4-door. Was surprised

Taller tires, longer pencil, straighter muffler? Nomo

Both Pioneers have same size as two Talons and one
Talon had 33. Pioneers were blinking fuel lights when Talons 4-5 bars. Said and done Pioneers took 4 gallons more on same trip. Just an observation I wouldn’t have thought

That is strange, I thought taller tires affecting final drive ratio.

Well been awhile since I’ve posted so figured on update. Front brakes are absolutely shot and after this weekends ride it’ll need rotors. Still running on broken low range.
Replaced air filter, it’s original and has 5300 on it. A lot of miles considering where and how the Talon has been ridden. But, it was f***ed up! Runs a little better now!
She is still doing ok.

Bit warm lately so finally broke down and got a half windshield, dealt with the heat last year and up to now with full glass but over it. Bought Tusk, it was cheapest out there. Going to break anyways.

And finally picked up some whips. Bought Boss, they seemed real tough and are easily removable. Also folding mounts and only went 2ft, I’ve had probably over 12 sets between all the machines and doubt any have lasted over a month or two regardless of what I do. Really trying on this one on where I mounted, size and everything else🙏🏻🙏🏻

Once upon a time, I'd have been horrified by that filter but not anymore. Most heavy equipment uses pleated filters in environments as bad as the Talon's and they do just fine. Guys are replacing their filters much too often IMO. I love my snorkel and oiled foam prefilter but I'm not sure it would last in your environment. The advantage to a snorkeled prefilter is that you can see it without taking the stock airbox nightmare apart (and hoping you don't cause a leak) - and change it with a spare in minutes.

I also believe that guys clean their foam filters too soon. This was filthy at 600 miles IIRC. The problem is that the primitive FI on our Talons doesn't sample and adjust when running, it only samples just before start-up, not when the engine is running so it can't lean out when the airflow is restricted, its only knowledge is the preset mapping.

I look at your Talon now and think about all the work and detail you put into making it pretty at the beginning of this thread. lol.

Any news on the Yammie stuck on the mountain?

I do run prefilter as well. My local friend was changing filters every about every 250 miles prior to mine, I wasn’t going to deal with that so ordered us both one. I’ve only washed if a few times but smack the dirt out every so often
