Talon Transmission noise

[Mikehallad]

134 miles on mine and horrible transmission whine at 4500 rpm over 35 mph. Just checked sub trans oil and no show on the dipstick.
Taking it in to the dealer tomorrow for first maintenance. I will have check, fill, and document the issue and post their response here.

My 2017 1000-3 LE was noisy too, but after about 150 miles it has gotten much quieter. 20-25 mph with no windshield, no problem carrying on a conversation.

Update! Got my machine back today. Sub transmission was indeed 8.0 oz low! They drove it, heard it, documented it. They then told me as a dealer they check them now and have seen enough of them from the factory to have to back charge Honda for the quarts of oil they are going through at setup!
Quiet now though.

Exact same situation with my Talon X.
At 70 miles I started noticing a chatter type vibration at low speed under the passenger seat.
Ended up having to put exactly 8oz in sub transmission to get it close to full. Noise then immediately disappeared.
I think the dealership may be checking the oil by screwing the dipstick all the way in.
When mine was low, if I screwed the dipstick all the way in to check it and it actually showed oil (however it was still a little low)
After reading the manual, Honda says do not screw it in to check. When I checked it that way I wouldn't get any trace of oil on it.

Both of mine and 3 of my friends also were about 6 to 8 oz low. Since it takes around 42 oz I doubt it would cause any damage but it doesn't hurt to have your dealer document it was low.

Have you checked your sub trans oil?

Had a P1K that made noise in low only and it turned out to be low on sub trans oil.

Bought a new 1000-5 Friday. The trans groans louder than I think it should which is why I checked out this thread. I’ll check the fluids tomorrow. Thanks

8oz is not going to toast anything and i would think that it would also not make it noisy
