    Hopefully you guys will see this ... what y’all need for the talon is speed healers for the talon from 12’0clock labs .... it basically tricks the ecu into shifting harder faster or slower !! I just had them installed along with a 25% gear reduction to control my shifts ... I spin 35s on pavement in 4wd !! The ecu shifts from speed sensors on the diffs ... you need the H-4 plug 🔌... I believe ... also a tune would help out with the exhaust ... is Honda guys really want y’all to take all the sxs’s to the next level

One of the first times I rode a quad I was watching a guy unload and play around a little bit honestly impressed by his skills until 20 minutes later and he was being lifelined out. Come to find out it was his first time there and not knowing the trails almost cost him his life because he was so good he thought not knowing the trails would not matter point being always start off slowly when you are dealing with a new machine or new trails overconfidence will get you hurt faster than anything else

  • @LGHTSPD675
    @LGHTSPD675 4 роки тому

    Doug, you asked for General mods, this could be a running series! You could do a long term series on how much each mod lowers lap times! Go through the most common types of mods so us regular guys know where we can get the best bang for our buck. Tires, wheels, clutches, shocks, springs, sway bars, ride height, air filters, engine tuners, exhausts, etc. Include unconventional mods as well. My vote for the first unconventional mods on the General - Install a RZR Turbo steering rack (faster ratio). Tighten up the front end feel so it's easy to slide and correct unexpected behavior. Performance improvement prediction? 0.5 seconds a lap (I know, wildly outrageous, but it's more fun to guess big gains!) If the mods work, then sell them in the store!

    I have a rzr s 1000 which is basically the same as the general. They are deceptively quick and handle extremely well for their width. The talon would definitely be faster with stock size tires. It would also be faster using manual mode. Regular and sport mode are nice, but manual mode is where it's at for trying to get quick lap times.
