Ok guy's I have a 2021 X4 LV. I've read about the U-Joint problem but it only seems to be on the 2-seater's. Has anyone with a 4-seater had a prop-shaft U-Joint come apart?
Thanks

I read one report of a 4 seater spinning u-joint cups. It doesn't appear to be as big of an issue at this point, only time will tell.Ok guy's I have a 2021 X4 LV.

Yes sir 500 miles toast. Honda put a new one in and I spot welded the caps on.Ok guy's I have a 2021 X4 LV. I've read about the U-Joint problem but it only seems to be on the 2-seater's. Has anyone with a 4-seater had a prop-shaft U-Joint come apart?

Can you share pics of where you did the spot welds?
Yep, did the same to my X2
I got my X4 LV in October 2019, 3 K miles, no troubles……yet…..🤔Ok guy's I have a 2021 X4 LV. I've read about the U-Joint problem but it only seems to be on the 2-seater's. Has anyone with a 4-seater had a prop-shaft U-Joint come apart?

YepThank you for the info and pics. Gonna have it done ASAP. So what happens if the u-joints fail from wear? Just grind off spot welds, replace ujoint, and re-tack?
No one here can definitively answer that question, ask your dealer.For my own information, if you spot weld the cups and bring your Talon to the dealership for other repairs, does that void the warranty. I know that fix is a good solution but what about other warranty work after that fix?
I just returned to Phoenix area this week. I bought my R here last year and then started hearing the problem needed attention after I returned to Ohio. I haven't looked at mine yet, so not sure if they have loosened any. If there is no noticable play, can they be welded in place? Easy to get to?Lots of pics and info in this thread
Talon Front Driveline Woes
There have been multiple reports of U-Joints on the Talon falling apart. I have now fallen victim to the problem but luckily caught it in the shop before it broke and not out on the trail. Many speculations such as missing clips, bad joints, etc. Instead of replacing the driveline and...hondasxs.com
