Soooooo any ideas why my airbox filled with oil?

Stock air filter shouldn’t plug so quickly.

How did this intake solution work for you? Looks like you simply relocated the intake location which is the real problem here IMO.. Im looking to relocate mine as well to behind the rear window.

Don‘t have any details other than it just quit and this is what was found. Not my car but a friend was riding in it.

Doesnt it make sense to put a catch can on that breather tube that feeds into the airbox? Does anyone know of someone selling a kit to do so?

You have several options and anything is far superior to the stock snorkel.

• Build your own. Several threads on how to.
• 10-80 Dirt Sports (Forum Vendor). This one has excellent reviews. Honda Talon Intake Pre-filter Kit | 10-80 Dirt Sports
• BVC. This one is nicely hidden in the fender but will get dirtier faster. BVC Quick change Pre-filter + snorkle eliminator

No, not needed if you keep your filter clean.

I consistently wind mine up full throttle for hours at the dunes and have never had oil in my filter in 5,000 miles.

Thanks everyone for all the info! I went with the 10-80 solution, looking forward to delivery!

10-80 solution arrived and is installed. Well packaged, simple install, quick delivery. Thanks 10-80 team!
One of my problems fixed, a few more to go!

All of a sudden my talon started blowing smoke and about a quart ran out of the airbox when I opened it.

Was it rolled over at any time ? Possible air intake filter is clogged up , and check the crank breather tube for blockage

Hahaha... Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?

The classic reboot fix. 👌

Technically that's exactly what you did to fix it, except you had to throw a ton of money in engine parts at it between the "turn it off" and "turn it back on" phase. 🤣

It’s similar to the radiator cap fix.

remove cap, replace car, reinstall cap.
