I just saw this on YouTube. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Coming from the same guy who flipped his end over end and pretty much totaled it.

I call BS.

I have been warned to not power wash to heavily around the air intake behind the passenger seat.

I mean that's pretty much goes for anything, dont point water at the intake.

This is true, I need to look at the inlet tube. Supposedly there is a weep fitting in the tube leading to the filter box.

If air can get in in any kind of volume so can water, not so much a flaw as a requirement until they can get the Mr Fusion to work correctly.

Just another think to keep an eye on. Thanks for the info.
PS We love our Talon so far.

We like ours too, although we only have about 50 miles on it thus far. Darn weather here in Oklahoma continues to thwart any chances of getting out and riding.

Same guy claimed a problem with the shocks because he hit a driveways sideways at 45 mph and flew threw air 49 ft and landed nose first.

Busted up his Talon.

Did he check the air filter after his accident? Did he check filter before his trip? Did he run a power washer in the vent on driver side? Was the clear rubber bulb at bottom of air relief vent filled with water? I drove my Talon on trailer 230 miles in a rain storm when I bought it.I checked my filter because of his video, My filter was dry but a bit dusy. I have almmost 400 miles on the Talon. Maybe some strange vortex was created with air coming off his vehicle.

That guys a grade a moron. Playing victim for everything he does. No respect for a person like that.

While I may not agree with some folks on everything they do to abuse their machines, I respect the ones who have enough honesty to admit they screwed up and did something far outside the capabilities or design of the machine.

Unloaded at the [HASHTAG]#takeover[/HASHTAG] with 20 miles on it, Loaded up on the following Sunday with 235 miles. I had both my machines there. So didnt put as many miles is I could have.
There is a LOT of small places for mud to hide.

I've always said that one of the reasons you see so much RZR damage is because it's the choice of drunk (and sober) idiots.
Now a lot of those guys are migrating to the Talon, so prepare yourself for undeserved bad press.
