Our FINAL Review of the Honda Talon X4 Live Valve

[@westcoastlife3607]

I bought my 2020 talon X4LV because of this channel..we got ours about 2 weeks after you showed your revels video of what you bought..I couldn’t be more happier with my machine, my family loves it..thank you from one talon owner to another, this channel taught me a lot about my machine and I can honestly say I wouldn’t have one without this channel..I’d prob be driving some Polaris changing belts everytime I hit a puddle…thank you Joe I can’t wait to see what’s next..don’t forget about us Talon owners tho 😉

[@BLeegard]

Just checked out your post on the Talon goodbye,, had a 2020 identical to yours,, 6500+ miles over four years,, was running 31” Goodyear MTR’s ,, in the fall put 32” Valors on it,,, excellent tires ,,, as of March I purchased a new Talon ,, 1000R-4, another live Valve,, put a Kraftwerks turbo,, 35” Valors on,, among other stuff,,, Honda all the way ,, thanks for your reviews

I love my 2019 Honda Talon 1000R. Yes I do wish it had more power but it’s ok. I bout it because I am more of a rock crawler type person and I think because the 6 spd DCT it fit the bill perfectly. I put it in 1st gear when going up hill or down hill. It saves the breaks. I still have not had to do a break job yet.

[@damienstark6901]

Maintenance is one of the main reasons I bought the krx it so nice to work on.

[@Joe-uc6uz]

Man I follow this talon since the day I bought mine. I would of love to see a full built out of it. Like long travel and turbo maybe a cage…. Too bad

[@Webbys_World]

Look forward to seeing the new unit!! Kinda sad to see the talon go.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

🤔🤔🤔 wonder whats next.. the talon is a good overall machine though i agree.

[@mayajesus3619]

I'm going to buy this model. Because of this review

[@sparky7643]

I got my live valve cause and after buying the one I got I see yours up for sale

[@maraudermitchelli]

Great video, what size are your tires?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

32 inch

[@padialj52]

If you dont mind me asking, how much are selling it for??

[@felipecastaneda2093]

Hello, I'm new to the honda Talon I have one question regarding the 32-inch tire any thing else you have to modify or can It run good stock

[@chuckgordon8179]

Thanks for the review, I've been considering the Honda Talon for a while and also the KRX 1000 4 seater. Comfort is the biggest reason. I do like the thought of having no Belt to have to replace, but I've also heard bad things about the Hondas Transmission. And that Airbox!! Sounds like a real pain in the Butt. I live in DS, you've probably driven by my house. Where are the links to the light panel?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Dave must’ve forgot to add them… you’ll find them in our panel install vid though. We’ll get them added in a bit. -Joe

[@simpsonrdlarry4385]

The talon is simple to work on. Probably the all around easiest machines to work on, yes the oil change can be a little messy but with a little thinking you can cure that. I agree the air filter is ridiculous. Curious of where you have seen the the door seal kits as I live in Minnesota and have put the cab and heater kits on mine so it would be nice to seal my doors better. I was going to order some different size weatherstripping and make my own but if there’s a kit I’ll go that way.

[@renonative]

I there a way to close that windscreen all the way to keep water from coming in?

[@94auwing]

Love the talon

[@sethdewey2121]

What size megabites an do you like how the size handles?

[@corbinwhite2979]

Anyone else catch, "The reason we RRRR" subtle hint of a Turbo R or Pro R as the replacement.

[@scotthead3038]

Did you buy another Talon or moved onto another platform since Honda hasn't changed the original design since its initial release?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

We bought a KRX 4

[@Dokkema]

I had a 21...I dumped it after rear ended went out...at 200 miles Miss my KRX...soooo much better and easier to work on... 6000 miles on a 21 pioneer...no problems But also ..pain for maintenance..... Honda could do so much better on Talon...

[@Propelled]

Ever own a Can Am?!?

[@boyswithtoys1127]

I am wanting a talon and have no idea what a good price to pay, How much did you sell yours for with all the extras?

[@nbatvforum]

Always loved the looks of the Honda, but in Canada at the time they came out, were priced up there with the big boys, then the big boys kinda stepped it up 10 notches since lol. what's next?

[@allibrande5843]

What size tires

[@kiddt1999]

What does the live valve mean?

[@DUNEATV]

So…you guys are getting sport quads so you can be cool like me and Joe???

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Something like that. Whatever it is will have 4 wheels…-Joe 😜

[@DUNEATV]

@@DerangedOffRoad Sounds good! Lol

[@TheVanguard43]

What about suspension compared to a T4

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Suspension on the Honda will be much better then the T4. It’s a trailing arm setup versus the aArm setup on the T4. -Garrett

[@MontanaBighorn]

Never heard of your channel before this video, but claiming the i4WD is "great in the rocks" tells me everything I need to know about your channel. I owned a Honda Talon and a Honda Pioneer 1000-5D (with the manual locker). The Pioneer often made easy work of climbs where the Talon wouldn't go at all because the front locker wouldn't lock when needed most. Sell that "works great" stuff for people who don't know any better, I guess. If the manual locker is ever added to the Talon, I'd own another one as this was my only real complaint. i4WD does NOT "work great" in the rocks and anybody who's ever seen one in the rocks knows this.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

😂 yeah ok ! See ya later bye

[@jerb9254]

Don't blame the machine and the i4WD for your terrible driving skills. I own a 2023 1000x4 and it performs just fine in literally any of the terrains/conditions out here in the deserts of AZ (rocks/boulders included). Maybe you're just not that great of an operator.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

@jerb9254 exactly!

[@MontanaBighorn]

@jerb9254 yeah just tell me you don't know what rock crawling means without telling me you don't know what rock crawling means. 😅 Surely you can show me one single national rock crawling stock classes competition that has ever been won by an i4WD machine, right? Just one. You can't, because the system sucks in big rocks. But you want to feel good about spending your money so you have to defend it. So, surely you can show me any popular KZbin channel that people have actually heard of before who will also claim i4WD works well in he rocks, right? Not fan-boy channels, but channels who run multiple brands of machines. Nobody who actually knows rock crawling makes such statements. Look at how many axles the Talon at Blown Budget Offroad has gone through. My heavier, less powerful Pioneer with less clearance and less travel was more capable in rocks than my Talon because of the real locker. You just have never played on any big rocks and it shows.

[@jerb9254]

@@MontanaBighorn No one is expecting the Talon to be a Jeep Rubicon technical Mountain Goat, but you. It isn't the best in rocks, but it can get the job done. I didn't purchase my Talon to climb boulders, but if I had to claim that obstacle, it would/could get it done (just not as good as other machines). You're proving my point.

[@randyhelgath685]

No mention of the transmission?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

I had no issues with the transmission or sub trans. Cable was properly adjusted when I got it and never went out of adjustment. Always shifted well. -Joe

[@dash8465]

Great info from the worst camera possible.

[@patd4u2]

BS! your selling it because you want to get the new Kawasaki KRX 4 seat..😂😂

[@DerangedOffRoad]

😂😂-Garrett
