You need to connect resistors (would go with 10k) between the quadrature lines and the +5v rail. This will pull the signal to high when not being actively pulled low by the encoder. If you don't do this then you're going to get some noise.

EDIT: Section 1.4.3 of the Talon SRX User Guide has a diagram: http://www.ctr-electronics.com/Talon%20SRX%20User's%20Guide.pdf

Thanks Omar!
