This post is mostly for people looking to buy a talon doing some research. I bought a 2019 X last year with all of 2 miles on it. Has over 1k on it now and I gotta say I'm really disappointed with this machine. I'm definitely glad I'm not making payments on this rig to say the least. The air box design is the worst design for an off road rig. The final straw for me was this last weekend. I have had to change the filter after pretty much every weekend trip or single day outing. At 50 bucks a pop its not worth it to me. I'm finding dirt on the clean side every time. I'm no slouch at wrenching and made sure to maintain this machine meticulously. The air box does not seal correctly (in my opinion and experience) and allows dirt past. Last weekend ended up with a plugged filter and we were out BY OURSELVES. Not behind any other rigs. Light dust on the clean side like every other timesee. A particle separator or pre filter isn't what is going to solve this issue and I'm not going to spend 500 bucks for something when it should have came with a foam oil filter from the factory.
Second ride quality on the X is sub par at best. I was really excited for this machine to come out and buy one but now I can't wait to sell it. I just dont see the long-term in this rig and see getting good mileage out of it before it needs a rebuild. If I'm the only please let me know, but overall pretty disappointed in my buy.
