Thank for the lowdown! My buddy has a 500 pioneer. It has taken alot of abuse & it still is ripping. No repairs!
tunerarmoryVT Awesome! Honda builds great machines
Really great update/review. The mix of action footage, drone footage and walk around are great. Never seen a particle separator for a SXS. Thanks again for making these videos.
Thanks for the comment and the view....Hope it helps others if they decide to get one. Again thank you.
Great machine. Love Honda's. Little surprised they didn't move the radiator to the back like the Yamaha. Just seems so smart to protect it from mud, impact, and ability to remove some weight from the front while also increasing visibility from lowering the angle of the hood.
Hello great video, I have a rzr turbo and I was having to replace the filter all the time so what I did I installed a uni filter which is reusable and a s&b particle separator and it works great the filter stays clean and I don’t have to worry about getting dirt or rocks in my air system. It’s a great investment if you want your utv to last a long time
Good to know, I hope it performs as well for me..Thanks for the view
How much?
The Talon is so interesting. The DCT, the engine, and the Live Valve suspension are all tunable with a computer.
Man it looks good with those tires!
Great review! Well edited video. Liked the voice over on the trail riding footage, keeps things interesting. Thanks for keeping the video focused on pertinent info. So many ATV/UTV videos are filled with people rambling on and on. Really interested in learning more about the air cleaner.
i rarely subscribe to chanels but you sound like a real nice dude ,honest comments and riding your machine like i would, enjoying it and not beating the crap out of it a real nice reliable ride
Thanks Mario...I try man...thanks for the view as well.
That particle seperator is pretty cool tech
You should definitely consider posting links to all your aftermarket parts u are reviewing in the description ... Would really help for those that want to follow ur mod list for their own 👍🏼
Always high quality videos as always
Good Idea, just added a few
So glad I did not get sucked into a UTV. In Montana you will be enjoying the forest roads on these going 25mph as that is the speed limit. My Can Am outlander can go on all trails many of them limited to 50 inches. No I don’t ride 70 mph on a road in the forest because that is illegal in all places in Montana.
My Rzr is the same way to fill it up. The pump will want to stop but the tank can hold another gallon or so.
I have the 2021 4 x and I love it it has the partical separator on it heated seats for those cold days lite bar and a Karen winch
Honda is a no-brainer. Always had good engineering. The only thing I don't like is the multiple pivots in the rear suspension. A little slop in each joint adds up to more slop than a lityle slop in a few joints. Also more expensive to overhaul.
I agree
Torn between the KRX and The Talon.....Not sure what I want to get....Can't go wrong with Honda, Company in know for reliability!! But I do like the look of the Talon....
Nice unit. The dct is definitely cool and it's nice Honda finally showed up. I drove a talon last week for the first time and I found the suspension to be almost unbearable. I even got out to check a couple times to make sure it was full soft. It did good over big whoops but over the small chatter I needed a sports bro. My tits were raw from all the rubbing. I currently own a 17 RZR turbo and I feel like it's a much smoother ride. I only rode the talon for 45 minutes so take it for what it's worth
Thanks for for the feedback, I know this suspension isn’t the greatest the razors have much more adjustability. and for the view
Pull that little white plastic sleeve out of the intake part of the gas tank. Will allow you to fully fill the tank. Did it on my pioneer 1000 and it works.
Thanks for the information
Welcome. I know I was getting frustrated when I switched gas stations when I lived back home. The one place would let me “top” it off and the other I could never fill fully. Found that little piece of info on the Honda pioneer Facebook Or hondasxs.com. I filled up once since I moved to AZ and that pump allowed a complete fill also.
Cant pull the pump nozzle out halfway when it gets close to full?
Yes, however very slow. Picture trying to fill a regular car without pushing nozzle through the spring loaded gate
@@47rhorvath ohhhh
You need to put F150 step board mounts to tuck to clean up that Super duty. Direct bolt and looks tons better. I also got those rear view mirrors in 2" dia but they dont have enough adjustment to mount to my XP Pro...they look awesome on your ride and i bet the vertical size helps when you are climbing...Beauty full machine!
Thanks
thanks, its funny i was just at the competition the other day and a salesman was telling me how bad the transmission was on the Honda, I was calling bs on him to his face
Time will tell for sure. Thanks for the view and feedback. Have a great day
Honda was the first to put a DCT in a motorcycle and also in a side by side, if you are going to try & bash Honda for anything it better not be their DCT.
Im really liking the talon. Did you use a follow me mode in the drone or were you flying it.
No, different drivers
Look at all those cactuses !! Sweet, we pay big money for them up here in Canada.
plural for cactus is cacti.
If Honda upgrades this to the same motor that the new African Twin uses (the bike that this motor comes from) it will get the upgraded DCT, ECU and has a superior shift pattern. What you describe is the same problem original African Twin riders complained about. You wont mind the extra HP and Torque either. Perhaps in 2021?
Already has the same engine the twin uses, and the same dct.
Not sure on the technical differences between those X-Comps and the 35-12.50-17s I had on my 2500 pickup but I'm betting you'll be plenty happy with the durability. I towed heavy and often with an equal mix of on road/gravel here in the midwest and I felt like they were the toughest and longest lasting tire I have owned to date. That's even after having the General Grabber Red Letters too.
So far they have been great....thanks I will make sure to include the tires in my next video..
My question is the engagement when you take off. I have heard it's aggressive or harsh engagement. I need really smooth and easy for loading in a very tight quartered toy hauler. I need to be able to inch it along not jerky.
Great question. Actually it does take some time to become accustomed to the DCT, but I adjusted very quickly and can control it with ease. Thanks for the view
Get a Warn Axon 4,500S. It's an awesome Winch. Easy hook up, great quality. I'm about to buy a second one.
You can't go wrong with Warn...Thanks for the advice and the view.
Okay so you're pretty verse than these and I'm about to get my first one and I'm want to Polaris it doesn't matter as long as you have fun the Honda looks really nice too but can you carry spare fuel in a can with those just any side by side or can you carry spare gas or is it too bumpy at to shaky for a can for spare gas to be carried
You can actually carry a spare gas can however I would not recommend your regular red plastic gas can I would recommend you spend the extra money and buy a can from a reliable Motor Sports source because they hold a very tight seal. That would be a way to spoil a days fun with gasoline leaking on a hot engine or getting intoxicated from gasoline fumes. Thanks for the view
I have to wonder if that 10 ply tire is overkill cause it adds extra weight. I think 6 would have been enough? Thanks for sharing. I’m jealous.
I thought about a tire with 6 or even 8 ply. However with this type of terrain I feel better with a 10 ply
@@47rhorvath fyi the 10 ply rating only applies to the tread face, the sidewalls are still 3 ply, which is why they seem more flexible. Nice Honda rig.
Absolutely correct. Thanks for the view
Please do a video on what you like/dislike vs the Teryx 4.
That’s a great idea!! Thanks for the view and the suggestion👍🏻
Seconded.. I own a 2018 Teryx4 and followed your updates.. have been eyeing the talon since it came out and want to know more about the two compared.. already thinking about upgrading to a talon 4 seater
tires looks good...thanks for sharing...
You bet
AWESOME MACHINE !! Great video and information !!! THANK YOU !!! from ky
Brian Mattingly thanks for the feedback and the view
Try flipping the gas handle upside down I have to do that with my work truck with a custom body on it because they lengthen the gas filler tube
Cool Idea!! Thanks
Have you had to replace anything other than the air filter? Brakes bushings ect...
I had a full service done at 200 miles..dropping all of the oils including the front-rear diff's and the DCT transmission as well...Used full synthetic across the board..air filter..... tires were by choice.
Just curious what air pressure you have your tires at while riding in the dirt?
Hard pack, about 16 psi
that practical separator sounds like a Dyson vacuum
John Meurer it does for sure
Great review, I am considering a Talon because of the Honda reliability and no belt to worry about. I am in need of a 4 seater so I am waiting for more reviews on them. Keep up the reviews I enjoy them. Also what part of AZ are you located? I am in Sierra Vista and some of that footage looked familiar.
Thank you for the view and yes I will be happy to continue with my reviews, it’s been a great machine.I live in the state of New Mexico the southern portion of the state near Las Cruces
Did you make it street legal? And if so what was required? Nice video.
Thinking about doing that, I haven’t decided. Thanks again for the view.
You need to be cleaning that air filter a hell of a lot more than every 400 miles. Clean that thing after every adventure out in the desert
The particle separator should make that 10 to 12 times less frequent
@@47rhorvath no doubt that it helps. Ita a high performance motor which requires more maintenance. Cleaning an air filter isn't that bad of a job, you should have 2 at a minimum so that you always have a clean one to throw in. I love in the midwest so it's not as big of an issue, butbhave friends that are motorcycle mechanics and learned a lot from them. Something as simple as an air filter can destroy an engine is all I'm saying. Driving a machine like this in the desert to me would be getting a freshly cleaned air filter after every 10 hours of run time max
Nice review, I have watched several times!, where were u riding at ?
Dona Ana Mountain Range in southern NM
Great video ! Even better shots !
Thanks. Hope you have a great holiday season
Talons look great with the larger tires. How much heavier are they than the stock wheel and tire?
About 6lbs per tire
Is the rear suspension really as stiff as they say? People were saying to get different springs.
Thant is my understanding as well...I no longer own the talon, however my buddy still has his and he did change the springs. Thanks for the view.
What kind of mileage range are you getting with a full tank of fuel?
West Coast Roller Don’t own the unit anymore, however it was about 17-18 MPH with the larger tires. Thanks for the view
@@47rhorvath did you get rid of it cause it sucked? What do you have now
@@georgebanuelos1 ruclips.net/video/SwTQ7QaigrQ/видео.html
Does the talon have powered steering
Thanks for the view, and yes all Honda Talon's have Electronic power steering.
Great video ray. Where did you get the a particle sep?? Thx by the way. Cloudcroft was awesome.
I ordered it directly from the SNB website
Did Honda provide the owners with a powered bus bar or something equivalent to power aftermarket accessorize?
Not to my knowledge, however the stator is high output
Great video thanks for the information
No problem, Thanks for the view
Nice video! I love my YXZ but I love Honda’s too!
YXZ was one machine I was also considering! Great set up, thanks again for the view
My yxz is the funnest car to play with in the sand dunes nothing compares to it but in the open desert you have to spend a lot of money to get it to ride decent through the big bumps so I think I'm going to get a Talon 4 seater to play with in the open desert
craig parrott I can understand that...you must really be haulin through the desert!
@@DUNEATV if you ever get a chance to go down to Mexico and pre-run the Baja 500 or 1000 course I highly recommend you'll know exactly what I mean lots of big bumps
craig parrott I went to San Felipe for the 500...it was awesome
did you mount the new gladiators on the factory rims ?
Yes, I sure did...Works well
How long is fuel range??? Anything like a rzr
I get about 130 miles or so. Depending how hard you push it.
Did you stay with the stock wheels, if not, what offset wheels are you using? I've heard if you go with 5/2 and put 1" spacers on the rear you stay close to 6 8.4" width. Just wonder what you did.
Trisha\Rod Hyde stock wheels
Thanks for the fast reply. I have a 2019 Talon R, just ordered 32" Tusk Terrabites . Loving the Talon, after 8 years driving two different RZR's, Great new experience.
Nice R. We really enjoy ours☺️
Thank you, good info appreciate your video
Eric Eklund thanks for the view
awesome review buddy - thank you
My pleasure!
Love my Talon
Excellent review.. thanks
Thanks for the feedback and for the view
Did the bigger tires hurt the performance at all?
You can feel the difference, actually at first it’s very apparent but the DCT transmission computer kind of re-maps itself and re-learns and it adjusts over a period of time you can still feel a slight difference but it’s not as substantial..
what light bars are you using? Talon looks great
Quadboos
Ray Horvath Productions thank!
Is it geared low enough to rock crawl?
Actually very much so
Nice review... looks like it can handle more challenging places than what you’re used to. You could maybe say it’s more of a trailblazer now. No need to stay on the trails anymore, lol. Not with a beast like that!!!
Yes sir
VERY INFORMATIVE
Have you tried it in the sand dunes
A little, some out near Alamogordo NM at an area called Red Sands, Did well, but not really big dunes at all. It would be cool to try though.
You can eliminate the the slow tank fill problem by poking a hole in the fill spout tube that extends down into the tank from the top of the fuel fill neck. I used a 1/4" chisel to do this on mine or you could use a punch or even drill the hole. I do not like the idea of drilling the hole as it could drop the cut material into the tank.
To locate where to punch the hole. you can judge where the top of the tank is at in relation to how far down to make the hole. Mine had a line around the inside of that tube and i cut the hole just below that.
This will let the trapped air escape and fill to the top of the tank.
I fueled up yesterday with one bar showing and was able to put 7.6 gal. in my Talon X.
I had done this on my Polaris RZR also and never had had any issues in the 17000+ mile that I had it.
Hope this helps...DKK
Thanks so much for the tip...I'm going to have to try this....It can be such a pain with the current tank set up....
those air filters are self cleaning. just flip it over every 200 miles
LOL
DAMN good review
Thank you and thanks for the view
Great video 👍
Thanks man
I tell rzr man that i had miles on backward than them on forward
These things will roll over on a dime seen it done dangerous machines period
A car will roll over if you’re not careful or acting crazy. I think this one is the safest machine I’ve ever owned. Thanks again for the
View
If you think these are dangerous, dont even look at a ATC from the 70s/80s........I dont know how any kid born in the 70s is still alive I tell ya. Those 3 wheelers were death machines
......bla bla, bla.......you sound like a real hoot.
Just like anything else, they are only as dangerous as the people driving them.
You’re on the good rock
I agree
looks good
Thanks for the view and for subscribing
Do you run a dual battery system and your talon?
I don't at the moment, thought about that as well
If you do ,would you show were you would install the second battery
@@brettstevanus3241 of course...Thanks for the view....New video uploading now Brett...Thanks again
Buying one
Cool, You will love this thing!! Thanks for the view
How fast it backwards , thanks
not sure
Particle separator=cheap flux capacitor
We the north Canada
And I’m willing to bet 1000 you were wearing a helmet with a GoPro on it while out in the driveway
Actually just holding it in my hand
Look at the shadow at the 1minute mark.

Overpriced fairy mobile
Over priced, probably. Not sure what you mean by Fairy Mobile
