2020 Honda Talon 1000X4 Live Valve review 4000 miles

[@jonpin78]

Hey my wife likes the roof net /truck net. Who makes it and what size is it that seems like a great idea as as long as it not hanging too low. Great video and we really like the mods you went with. we just got our talon a few months ago and on the first night ride we found you can't see to the side at all your side lights have to be very helpful.

[@jonpin78]

@@southern_crew awesome thanks for the reply!

[@NarySllim]

This is great to see, i'm eyeballing these currently. I have a pioneer 1000-5 which I love but since we're primarily doing trails (and i'm a honda guy) this seems like the one. Thanks

[@southern_crew]

It’s been a good one. I recommend the Talon

[@pghzaih]

Amazing accessories I will definitely reference this video when I get one too!

[@AlexanderPino-bo3gm]

I like your ideas!.. especially the tablet and mount setup. Would you mind sharing the link to the whole set up? Currently I use my phone and it’s just too small. I wanna go to something bigger and that looks like a very good location! Thank you in advance for sharing! 🙏

This is the tablet mount for my Samsung 10" tablet. I've had it on there for 2 years and it has performed well

Have an opportunity to purchase a 2020 talon x4 with 3600 miles for 16500. Seems like a good deal, what's everyone's thoughts?? No stereo or winch or fancy lights but VERY clean.

[@chaseledbetter5186]

Thats probably a good deal just for comparison I bought last week a 2020 honda talon x4 LV identical to the one in this video that only had 465 miles from a dealer in Georgia for 17,500 out the door. It also already had front flip out windshield, rear window, synthetic rope winch, warhead offroad front bumper, 36 inch lightbar, full 1/2 inch skid plate, front and rear high arching A arms, 15 inch aluminum rims, brand new 31 inch carnivores, new battery, fresh fluids in engine, sub trans, front diff, rear diff (all from dealer) superatv cooler mounted in the bed. So all those extras and only 465 miles and I only paid a thousand more. So I'd try to get it for 15k personally but it's a honda so miles wouldn't really scare me just letting you know what we paid from a dealer for ours. You won't regret the x4. Especially if it's a live valve like mine. Just make sure you do the clutch relearn every service. It was a game changer on mine for quieter, quicker shifts. It's the only thing I've had to do. Takes 30 seconds and well worth it. I've since added rock sliders, lower doors, soft upper doors, a heater, a rear cargo rack, rear light bar, street legal kit (I'm in NC where we can drive them on the road) glass windshield with wiper/washer fluid, fender extensions, trailer hitch and few more things but feel free to ask any questions on it. I'm also a 22 year mechanic so I highly recommend the belt less talon over any machine with a belt. I've had 2 others with belts and you'll love the talon in comparison.

[@southern_crew]

Sounds like a good deal. You will be happy with the Honda

[@icebawkz]

Looks sick dude! Honda FTW!

[@Ken-pp4gc]

The lower/side skid plate (kickers) where can I find that? I tend to agree with you and don’t want the tree kickers extending that far out.

[@southern_crew]

They are part of the skid plate. It has a full skid plate with side skids. They are from Trailarmor

[@Ken-pp4gc]

@@southern_crew that sucks…I wasn’t planning on doing a whole skid plate

[@earlmartin9921]

The orange jeep handles and the net is just like a truck bed net cover? That’s a great idea

Yes it's a truck net and it's the perfect size. The handles are generic roll bar grab handles. Thanks for watching

[@Roostfactor1]

​@@southern_crew Just bought both for my 22 X4. Thanks for the advice and link.

[@Ken-pp4gc]

Hi, the “custom” light bar brackets on the roof. Are those able to be purchased? I planning out a light bar installation, and I’d like to use the roof screw mount like shown in your video.

[@southern_crew]

Yes those are custom made. I actually changed them to some other brackets from Amazon. They work great and are a little lower profile. Here is the link

[@Ken-pp4gc]

@@southern_crew those work with the flip windshield?

[@southern_crew]

@Ken-pp4gc yes I used the stock screws on the roof

[@redblue40rc33]

Honda will outlast them all....😊

[@loganmiller1171]

I live in NW SC and trying to decided between the x or the r?? Would be doing probably same trails you are… u think there is a big enough difference or not?

[@southern_crew]

There is not much difference. My friend has one. It seems to be more stable at high speeds. Trail riding is about the same

[@randycrane1967]

Awesome video nice machine 👍

[@clintbiesinger1243]

Thanks! How loud is this versus other compatible machines? Is it more quiet than a CVT?

[@southern_crew]

Good question. I have rode in most sxs brands. The only noticeable noise in the Talon is the engine. No belt noise or whine coming from the belt. Also belt drive has higher rpms at lower speed which uses more gas and is louder in my opinion. All others are belt drive and are noticeably louder. The loudest in cab is the CanAm from my experience.

[@craigr6763]

Did you have to do any tuning after going to 32”s I have been interested in talons since they came out just because of the transmission and known reliability Thanks for posting

[@heathdodane4757]

Did you do something to lower your back roof?? Your talon is looking good.

[@southern_crew]

No the roof is stock

[@kylerwood3169]

Did you have to adjust your gearing or anything for the bigger tires?

[@southern_crew]

No adjustment needed

[@Matthew01552]

Where did you get the rear view mirror with light?

[@southern_crew]

Seizmik mirrors

[@craigreynolds2490]

What tire carrier are you using?

[@southern_crew]

www.superatv.com/honda-talon-spare-tire-carrier

[@southern_crew]

Super ATV. I wanted a carrier that did not block the rear view. I like how it sits up high and it is not above the roof line

[@REDNECKCHANNEL]

THANKS RUSSELL!!!

[@ozz115]

don't hit a tree with your tier you will bend the frame I did with my 2023 i would recommend super atv fram stiffner

[@StarknightMT_official]

hello, Are you interested in testing products? We would like to invite you to test the rear windshield for your 2020 Honda Talon 1000X-4 Live Valve

[@southern_crew]

Yes I would consider testing your product

[@BLeegard]

Not very impressed,,you have a very sticky tire AND way to much air ,, then you get flats , wth ! ,, that or it was your first time in it ,, I have the same machine,color,exhaust,mine is stock suspension,and it articulates,yours looked like it kept a wheel in the air a lot, mine has 32” tires,factory rear wheels on all four corners,1 1/2” spacers in back ,68 wide now I don’t think that video does anything for what a Talon can REALLY do

[@southern_crew]

How do you know how much air I'm running? I run 7psi and my tires work great. My setup works
