What kind of HP can the Talon be built to that's reliable?

[SLOWPOKE693]

Your just a typical dumb ass who spouts off crap just to tell people how good you think you are! Your looking @ the picture of me and my family jumping a 4 seater in the dunes and thinking I know nothing about racing a 2 seater on a MX track. You never know who your talking to on the other end BIG GUY!

The irony in this post is epic! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Does the new frame thing have any merit or is it just internet chatter?

Its only some rumbling for now that I know of. We have a "Redline" coming out around September or October I think with "Sport and Multipurpose SXS" in the description.

I think that Honda could maybe come out with another option to the line up for straight up dunes guy, but the dunes running Can Am suspension doesn't do near as well in the woods and trail type climbing and crawling as the Honda setup does. So they really wouldn't be gaining any ground if they ditched the current suspension setup that climbs like a billy goat, tears up the texaplex type courses and kills it in the tighter east coast trails (and does pretty good really in the dunes). All areas that the Can Am doesn't do as well! Just my opinion which really isn't even worth .02! 🤣

You talking about something similar to an RS-1 or Pilot when you say "redline"?

Thats what the Unit update or introduction videos are called. "Redline" bulletins.

I will clarify your thoughts on the stock pistons. I have had my turbo talon to the dunes twice my unit has less then 100 miles on it the pistons are cracked and one skirt broke off. I will say this if you have a talon with a turbo on it the pistons WILL BE CRACKED!!!View attachment 268509View attachment 268510

Wouldn't your warranty cover that? I have the turbo, and they claim to not void ANY part of the warranty. Obviously, they should not be replaced with OEM though..

How did you find that out?

It was pushing water into the over flow tank and not pulling it back into the radiator. So I pulled the head and the gasket was blown. So I decided to check the rod bearings and found the skirts cracked and one broke off.

I won't let my dealership touch my talon ever again!

They have a good reputation in the sledding world for 2 stroke pistons.

Yup you are 100% correct. Blow by and cracked skirt. On one trip to sand mountain with Jackson turbo stock pistons are junk

 

[SLOWPOKE693]

Seems like Honda has a problem on their hands. I wonder how this gets resolved?

I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Honda and Jackson Racing get together to discuss this. Who's buying everybody new forged pistons? 🤣
