Talon Talon 4 Owners Please Read

@HondaTech looks like you hurt his feelings when he said he bent frame and took him week to fix and you stated it was 21hr job. All I can see in his history that he might take exception too. Hell you helped him a few times on other stuff and he was civil and then this after the deal with frame. My guess

We all know how you help everyone so no sense in deleting the thread.

agreed.

no sense in hiding anyone’s ability to dig their own grave of irrelevance.

I was cracking a joke to be a smart ass.
I'd completely forgot about that comment tbh, I can see where he'd be upset over it .

@CincyCuda68 I apologize for that comment, I can see where it appears I'm an arrogant c**t in that regard. Ill take responsibility for that stupid idea.

f*** that! You should never have to be sorry for having personality! If people are too sensitive or fragile to handle jokes, it’s them that need work. Not you!

My hat off goes off to @HondaTech. Most dealers would not notice the issue of any other issues and they probably wouldn't care.
Hope I don't get booted because the thread is titled Talon 4 owners please read and I snooped anyway.

I think that just means you are entitled to a new talon-4

I picked up my 4 seater Friday in central Ohio and have the same loose front and rear center roof bolts. I'll look in the morning to see if the rubber spacers are in the wrong place.

@CincyCuda68 I apologize for that comment, I can see where it

While test driving our first 4 seater that arrived today I kept hearing a noise that seem to becoming from the roof of the unit. Upon further inspection the middle mounting bolt at the front and rear of the machine appeared loose, you could move the roof up and down around an 1/8 of an inch. But neither bolt would tighten up and appeared to be too long for the application.

Remembering the issues we had with the first batch of 2 seaters, I pulled the parts fiche up and found those 2 bolts were missing a rubber washer that would take up the slack and dampen vibration. After doing some looking around the rest of the roof I located 2 bolts in the middle of the unit that are attatched vertically to the outside edge of the roof. Those 2 bolts had the rubber washers under them that weren't suppose to be there.

So if you've recently purchased or plan to purchase a X4 or X4 Live Valve, please inspect the roof for proper installation. Keep in mind the roof is already attached before it arrives at the dealership.

Also take a look under the drivers seat, I found that our unit had the DLC dummy connector unplugged and was flapping in the breeze.

i have one roof bolt completely missing, where/how do you recommend I order one?

I’d contact your dealer and ask to get one coming. Assembly line issue but they should be able to handle it

Yeah, my dealers not real happy with me for going to Brookhaven and saving 3K....

I’d like to just order it (probably a couple for posterity) on line if possible.

RMATV typically does free shipping around black Friday regardless of amount spent.

Shame that the dealer is being a wienie about it- now gonna cost himself parts sales too!

Call Brookhaven. That’s what I was meaning is the dealer you bought it from. They could easily mail you one after they locate a replacement.

Yes and they stock MANY Talon parts. I bought a few Honda parts from them and had them next day (probably because I am in Utah).

Oh yeah ok, I’ll do that first.

 

[Montecresto]

f*** them!!

Yeah, I here ya. It does help to have a reasonable relationship with your local dealer though to get the work in on recalls and other services.

 

[JTW]

Oh yeah ok, I’ll do that first.

How are you liking it so far?

Yeah, but he’s a marshmallow in the flesh.

 

[Montecresto]

Besides needing to find and eliminate that roof rattle at certain RPM’s, and the wide turning radius, I’m VERY pleased with it.
