Talon Noise while under load

[Montecresto]

My R is chattering bad thought it was valves or trans BUT thinks to this thread it is for a fact my driveshaft, I took the hood off and reached down and the driveshaft is real loose.

Phuckity phuck, that’s not good. Please let us know what this is when you confirm...🤔

Picked it up Saturday and that was it. Sounds like it should now. no more annoying noise.

Mine has same symptoms but I don’t feel any slack. Your slack was in the u joint caps?

 

[Sawpilot]

Yes the universal joints, the caps get loose inside the yoke I welded Washers over my new drive shaft to keep the caps from moving, I also put a snorkel on mine with a KN filter and dry bag to keep my factory filter clean... works great

Good evening everyone. I'm new to the group. I'm experiencing this same issue with a 2020 Talon 1000r I never heard or maybe noticed this chatter, until I just installed new tires. I just took it out today and really noticed the noise. I'm glad to hear its just a driveshaft issue. I'll remove mine to make sure that's my issue before ordering. I have 940 miles on mine is there anything else everyone is seeing as a warning for other issues?

Sorry nobody responded to you a year ago. I just read this and giving a link that would help, if you haven't seen it yet.

I'm new to the SxS world - damn, there's a lot to learn, hence this thread - maybe we can make it easier for others new to the Talon and put it in one thread. 1. If you're a motorcyclist, you already know that sometimes your bike won't shift into gear at a stop without rocking the bike back and...

My 2019 Talon-X Turbo has more of a rattle that seems to be coming from behind the passenger seat so I think it's a different issue. It's almost like an exhaust shield rattle. It's most noticeable when slowly climbing a hill though it also does it some during normal acceleration on level ground. I've checked the Turbo support bracket but that is tight. I've tried putting clamps around the shields to prevent rattling but it didn't make any difference. Has anyone else have this issue?

This is what may be rattling on yours.........

Noticed mines doing the same. Gonna take it into honda and see if it's the drive shaft also !

It’s driveshaft I just replaced mine with the new aftermarket driveshaft Erin Early makes.

Is that driveshaft noticeably quieter? I know it's a lot stronger. Not that I think they are really loud to start with, just curious if you can notice it over stock. Thanks

Yes no chatter that everyone has experienced. The chatter is when you are at lower rpm and higher gear. On black top or dirt road you will notice the chatter the most.

Ya check the drive line and get out the welder and spot weld the caps. A must if you work it hard. And check the three front diff. bolts. I had one that came that was there but not tight?
