Honda Talon 1000 Tune Shootout - Part 1

With several tuners heavy in the marketplace for the Honda Talon 1000, we put them to the test. In this video we put the tunes to the test on a DynaPack dyno to see what they're putting down. Following the dyno pulls, we put all the results on a white board to go over and discuss. Which one will yield the most power?!?
Some notes about the machine and variables: The machine is a 2020 Honda Talon 1000X-4 with an throttle body plate from Pwr Tune and EVO slip on exhaust. For the gas, we ran 93 octane gas from Shell. Intake wise we have a brand new stock air filter.

Another great video with loads of info! I shared both tune videos, hopefully a few more views come your way as it took a lot of time and effort to make these.

[@runwildpowersports5567]

I appreciate the kind words and share!!!

[@DoctorMotorcycle]

Wow, would've assumed there would be more gain than pretty much 1hp/1tq. That's not even a 1% increase in power. It's probably more of a peace of mind thing for when you have an exhaust/filter on it, right? I'd imagine there has to be more left in the stock tune file than 1hp.

[@runwildpowersports5567]

The real difference will be with the road testing. We will have that in the next week, God willing!!!

[@ace3000000]

Do you know what stage tune you got from FCP Tuning? Have his stage 2 and 3 tune and seems to run much better than my other tune.

[@runwildpowersports5567]

This was a stage 2 tune that we have loaded. 👍🏻

[@DonziGT230]

Funny that the vastly more expensive tune was the weakest.

[@arizonapicker1836]

Stock HP is 104, Just curious as to why you did not show a Dyno Jet tune in the comparison?

[@runwildpowersports5567]

Good question. Honestly, it came down to me not wanting to make the video too long with too much information. Looking back, it wouldn't have added but another 1-2 minutes on the video but that was the reason why.

[@howardpowelljr8925]

104 @ the crank, not at the wheel FYI

[@caseymaxwell7645]

Is part two out yet?

[@runwildpowersports5567]

Unfortunately not yet. The rather has been bad for weeks. And in Moab we ran into issues. But should be done this week!!! 👍🏻

[@runwildpowersports5567]

It is now live!!!

[@stgraves260]

So the bottom line is just save your money and don’t waste it and these tunes.

[@runwildpowersports5567]

I wouldn't say that. There are many things that a tune will help with. In my opinion, a tune should be the first thing that is done on a machine. I have part 2 of this video coming out this weekend and will give more insight than the dyno numbers do. :)

[@stgraves260]

@@runwildpowersports5567 Ok I’ll have to watch them. I been looking at exhaust and tunes for awhile, and to fork out over $1,000 for 1 - 2 HP is a joke.

[@zacharymorris9917]

Update, make that 6.2 and 9.2...still on 87. COPS tune runs 0-60 in 6.5 & 1/8th mile in 9.3@68mph. Dragy video on COPS Facebook page. BONE STOCK machine with adapter plate, tune and overheat kit.

[@runwildpowersports5567]

I’ll copy and paste my response from the other video you commented on because it’s just as applicable…. Different machine with different modifications on a different road on a different day with different weather will yield different results, yes. On this day with all the same variables, the numbers can be seen in the video. Thanks for watching!!!

[@zacharymorris9917]

Whatever you say bud. Haters gotta hate.

[@sakrifistthstdamnroe3236]

I think your Dyno tune is a joke
