Has anyone removed the sway bar? I had it off on my 500 with no adverse effects.. I"m more concerned with the higher speeds of the Talon that it may be a mistake.. Anyone?

Try it and tell how it is. Not that hard to disconnect without even removing bar.
Hondabob has removed his on another thread under ride quality.

Took it off and made horse shoe post out of the one on my Pioneer 500 BUT , Not gonna take it off the Talon because it works so perfectly with it on . Maybe on the R it's necessary for a good controlled ride .

It does lean a lot in the corners but the suspension is noticeable better especially in tough rock crawling. I'm getting close to 4,000 miles now on my R and the ride is amazing.

Removed the rear sway bar on my YXZ and ended up with this...

I have a bit over 20,000 miles on my 2016 Yamaha YXZ and no problem. The ride is better without the swaybar and I have to go fast on the mild rock crawling so the engine doesn't bog.

Yep I have the same problem with my YXZ, what most guys can slow down for and crawl over I have to hit at speeds over 6mph or the clutch will disengage.
