Honda Talon 1000 Tune Shootout - Part 2

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 the road. We wanted to test the different tunes for the stock 28" tires as well as with some 32" tires. Who will be the best performing in an all out drag race?!?
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.

Great vid TY for taking the time

[@c4arnold86]

So it sounds like you got more power from the pipe and throttle body plate than the tunes

[@zacharymorris9917]

The video is faked bud. COPS tune runs low 6s to 60 and low 9s eighth mile.

Cops won’t even send you a product.

[@nicholasbarber8051]

The Hess tune offers a transmission tune that discriminates for the tire size (28,30 or 32). Was that taken into account for these runs? Do the other tunes do that?

[@runwildpowersports5567]

The tire size was communicated to all the vendors, whether through their order form or them asking directly. So I do believe that all of them take that into account.

@@runwildpowersports5567 Good deal. I have 32’s and flashed the Hess tune this weekend and couldn’t believe how much better the drivability was. I felt like the shift points were spot on and the machine truly felt much more responsive, even though the numbers don’t necessarily show that. Thank you for doing this review.

[@runwildpowersports5567]

@@nicholasbarber8051 and that's the biggest thing to keep in mind. The numbers might not show a ridiculous increase. But it is undeniable that in actual driving, I've seen big benefits and improvements.

[@zacharymorris9917]

@@nicholasbarber8051 he's lying about tire size and communications. PM me and I'll send you screenshots. COPS tune on a R runs low 6s to 60 and low 9s eighth mile. A X4 runs mid to high 6s and a two seat X runs extremely low 6s.

[@jimmywallace2782]

The numbers surprisingly show very minimal gains regardless of what tune is used. I'm confused on how it "feels" better, faster, stronger? It's hard to believe you can feel such a sliight difference.

[@jbarry.854]

Very good info I was debating what tune to get. Did none of the tunes have the tire size changed for the 32's wouldn't that make a difference with the shift points

[@runwildpowersports5567]

Yes, they did have adjustments made for the tire size and shift points. And I did feel a difference as far as that goes. There's only so much you can do when you have such a large difference in overall diameter, though.

[@Mr99Sunshine]

I didn't finish watching the video but checked out your chart. Thanks for saving me a grip of money! I can't imagine the seat of the pants is much better than those numbers.

[@zacharymorris9917]

Update, make that 6.2 and 9.2@69. 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. 90 degrees, ~3000' DA

[@runwildpowersports5567]

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]

Wrong

[@mandytuning]

@@zacharymorris9917 i trust more on this unbiased test than what tuners claims on their webpages ads. He bought the tune from all them,ran it and that what he got,no magic.

@@mandytuning if you think that Ruben Pina is unbias then he has successfully made a fool out of you. He is the third biggest COPS hater of all time and a straight up FCP fanboy. If you think my time isn't real, I'll make you the same bet I've made all the others: show up with $10,000 cash and whatever stock parts you think are modified on my machine. I'll install your supplied parts. When it runs exactly what is shown in my videos I get the $10,000. If it doesn't run the same times I show in my videos, you get $10,000. Facts are kryptonite for COPS haters.

RIP FCP
