  1. Talon R
New member. Took delivery of a 2022 Talon 1000R one week ago. Putted it down the street just long enough to realize it has an issue. The i-4Wd light stays illuminated. Didn't think much of it until reading the manual. The dealer (100 miles away) said, "oh, just bring it back and our tech will check it".

While installing the new winch I couldn't help but notice the front-end alignment was horrendous. Towed out over three inches. The right side wheel more so. That issue is now resolved.

Sure hoping Honda quality and reputation is what I always remember is to be. It obviously left the dealer with the light on but they claim otherwise. Will make all the obvious checks before seeking dealer help.

Complaints aside this is a really cool machine. Many mods already complete. Waiting on a windshield and plug-n-play turn signal/horn kit. If it ever warms up I really want to start the break-in process.

Welcome from the once great state of Colorado. :cool:

The link in my sig will take you to some basic Talon information if you haven't seen it. It's also a sticky in the General Talon 1000 Discussion forum.

Not trying to take up for anyone, but the I4wd light could've been of since the system has to reach a certain speed before acknowledging an issue.

That being said they should've driven it fast enough to test everything.

Great points. I'm not going to panic on the light. The front-end alignment on the other hand was kind of shocking. Hope to get it up to speed once the sub-zero departs.
