Hey guys just went through my first ride. SUPER FUN!!! I want to get recommendations from you guys as to what you use to clean the talon. I just bought an electric pressure washer and a foam cannon. I was debating using the chemical guys wash vs the slick off road wash. I know you guys probably have talked about this before but I couldn't find anything on it. If you guys know of any better methods / products please let me know since I care for all my off road stuff and like it to stay clean. Thank you guys.
P.S. heres a little pic of the place I went to.
Welcome to the forum Jazz4926. Great looking Talon 4. There's lots of great information on mods and other general information. It looks you and your family will have a great time hitting the trails.
I've been offroading to many many years and also like to keep my rides clean. The electric pressure washer and foam canon work well. I use them but for me in AZ the foam dries out to fast in the summer. I use the pressure washer to get most of the dirt off and a bucket and brush or mit to make sure it is off. One thing about AZ when it's 110 you have to do it quick and keep it wet.
The nice thing about the electric pressure washer is they don't have too much pressure to damage things. Be careful on electronics or sensitive areas.
I have chemical guys foam cannon and their products work well. Foam cannon is the way to go, I have a gas pressure washer it fits on and does a very good job. Just use the low pressure nozzle or distance to keep the stickers on and not knock off any paint.

Just a tip. Make sure to wash it on an incline with the tail of the bike on higher ground so that it can drain properly, otherwise you’ll be out of luck. I put simple green diluted into my foam cannon and let it sit for a few minutes before pressure cleaning. Trick i learned from watching sxs blog that cleatus mcfarlane told them about.
Wow man that looks awesome after clean. Yeah you get it wayy dirtier than I do lol. How does that F11 work I heard it's supposed to coat it so nothing sticks to the machine?
So I like F 11 for a few reasons:
It is very quick and easy to apply with excellent results.
It’s water based so you can use it on literally everything.
It makes future cleaning easier.
It takes very little product to work. Also, it makes surfaces very slick so use caution if it’s a place you sit.
It is definitely a bit pricey but if you go ahead and buy the gallon instead of the smaller bottles it’s a lot more reasonable. I use it on my truck, Jeep, car, Camper, boat, windows, bathroom mirrors, helmet shields, motorcycle and sxs. I haven’t used but maybe a little over half a gallon since I bought it a couple years ago. I just refill small spray bottles from Walmart. the shine is awesome. I really should sell the stuff. Lol but it’s not a miracle drug so mud still sticks. Just not as bad and it comes off ALOT easier.

I would never use a pressure on an open chassis vehicles as they drive dirt and grim into places you don't want i! I use soapy car wash and a hose with an adjustable spray. My 2cents after 50 years of off-roading.. BOB

Hi guys, new to the forum.
I'm set on replacing my Wolverine X2 and getting a Talon X. I'm having trouble finding any information on any updates or changes on the Talon since 2019. I'm trying to figure out 2 things. Is it worth getting the live valve on the 2021 Talon X or get a '19/'20 model...
Hung up on my decision to get either a left over Talon X or a new one with Live Valve. Trying to figure out if live valve is worth the difference between a 16.5k leftover or a 21k new machine. Plan on a lot of trail riding with sustained speeds of 40+, some mud here and there as well as some...
Had my 2019 Talon 1000R 2 weeks and at the 100 mile initial service I noticed that the front differential was leaking oil at the LF axle shaft, although it will be fixed under warranty, the tech said that they have been getting quite a few in for the same problem (5 in the last 2 weeks). I...
Hey guys... just a few questions
I am looking into buying the 2020/2021 talon 1000r. Picking from these two I’ve did a lot of reading and can’t seem to decide. Is the fox live suspension worth the extra $$$.
Background: I have only ever been a RZR owner with that being said I am looking at...
