Taco Moto GET SX1 ECU / The Best Honda CRF450RL ECU Yet / Tame That Twitchy Throttle! 

When you said you were still going to do CRF450RL content after getting the KTM you weren't kidding. Thanks man!

thought the weighted flywheel upgrade is to help with the stalling.

Great review John. I recently received the new SX1 from TacoMoto and I agree 100% with your assessment. The GET SX1 is the creme da la creme of ECU’s! And I’ve owned and three brands! And all you can do with the app is bonkers…

Nice to see that you still have the 450L. I bought mine because of you. I regret nothing!

Mike and his GET ECU Maps for the big KTM dirt bikes are legend. I have been running Mike's maps on my GET ECU for almost a year now on my 23 KTM 500 Exc-f. I also got the Traction Control knob (cheating), the ECU Map switch (1or2) and wifi module. Yes, the software runs very well on my Samsung S22 Android. Mike quickly responded to any questions I had and helped me understand some error codes unrelated to the GET. I live and ride near sea level on Vancouver Island and often ride high into the mountain trails well inland (Nelson, BC). The GET ECU has been flawless. On Map 2, the Enduro Map (Old Man map!), the 500 is very controllable in the bush, never flames out and still has tons of torque. On Map 1, Mikes Open Desert Racemap, the KTM 500 is a monster. Map 1 and TC on low are tons of fun but can tire me out after a few hours, as full race and TC off require constant attention, at least at my skill level. Map 2 and TC >5 is still tons of fun and is great for also enjoying the scenery and riding with others. If you are going to be running in Baja or anywhere, the quality of gas could be a concern. Mike also has a bad gas map that you can have on our phone and install at any time (if you have the Wi-Fi module) on your GET ECU. You can load the bad gas map on Map 2 and switch it on and off as required. Or pull it out of the ECU and reload Mikes's maps until the next time it is required.

Do you still have the 450rl? How many miles?

The stall issue is why I didn't get a Honda. I got a 690. It is worse 😂

I've put 5k miles on mine all stock.(besides tires) I just ordered the ecu and fmf 4.1 full exhaust. Really looking forward to feeling the difference.

Nice! I was thinking about sending my vortex back and having it re-flashed to lower the fan activation temp but this ecu sounds like a game changer….hmmm…and Mike is such a great guy too, would love to help his business…but it’s hard to without a KTM, LOL…may have to just sell the vortex. Thanks as always John!

That air filter was screaming " clean me" lol

I love my GET (gen1) and FMF with two significant issues. First, there's two 'stock' maps that you can customise but no intuitive way to switch between two custom maps on the switch. It's always Stock + Custom, not Custom 1 + Custom 2. The second issue I have chased for months is the backfiring on deceleration. I've replaced the copper header seal, SMOG delete, set it slightly richer at 0% throttle. Super annoying.

i have a 2021 Honda 450rl iv'e never had that problem with the throttle twitch im not shure if the Canadian version is different

That dog has some wheels lol

I bought a 23 KTM 300XC due to my 450L flame out issues on the technical stuff. Glad I held onto my 450L now.....I will be contacting Taco Mike. Thanks for the video John.

Been watching your ecu videos the last couple days trying to decide which to get for my ‘21 450RL. This might have sealed the deal. Appreciate all your efforts and sharing your experiences. Save myself and others some time and money. 🏍️💨

Does the fuel mileage and gallons used in the Honda display work with the SX1 ECU? It doesn’t with the AIM

You found much different in fuel usage? Compared Vortex ?

That dog was eating dust lmao

Looks really cool do you need to get the app? Not into the app thing

Ok John I'm aim-ing for the Get!

Just buying CRF450RL 2023 and damn your videos are useful! I spent yesterday few hours just watching and learn from your experiences! Thank you!

You are the king of the Honda CRF 450L adventure riding. You are also friends with Mike at Taco Moto. I would love to see a comparison video between the Honda 450L and the Husqvarna 501s. I almost bought the Honda but they were in short supply when I wanted to buy one so I went with the Husky. With your knowledge and experience and your in at Taco Moto you could produce a wonder comparison video. I trust your opinion. I would be happy to loan you mine for a week or 2 to ride in the back country of the Pacific NW. (Not Portland) My wife and I could provide you a place to stay, a vehicle, the bike, a 2023 Husky 501s and tools and internet access all for free. I am an old guy just looking to help out good guys like you John. My Husky is set up similar to your 450L. (Very expensive)

Now that you have been riding it; what map/traction control do you usually use? In this setting what is good estimate of mpg? For reference, for you, what was stock ecu mpg ?

Hey John, appreciate all you advice, I purchased the Get from Taco and am having issues with the fan not ever coming on and the motor is running way hot. Have you adjusted the get ecu to help the fan kick in at a lower temp ? If so, what settings did you use?

Hey John, do you run the snorkel cover on or off with this SX1 ECU? Also, do you use the phone app?? Finally, do you run the enduro map running single track slow stuff ? Or normally keep it on the power map. Love the videos

what kind of mpg are you getting with the sx1?

Cool Vid! Been a while since I watched it. Any idea when you might do that 890 to 450 comparison? Seems like you were all 450 till you took the big trip to the West Coast? Anyway, be great to get your opinion on the 2 bikes... Thanks!

great review brotha! im a motorcycle man myself, i have had all kinds but now own a ktm 790 duke, but I'm wanting a dual sport bad. i just subscribed to your channel. ride safe.

your running this ECU only without wifi correct? I would like to use it right out of the box and maybe or maybe not program another map or 2 into with the wifi app later down the road, although I wouldn't think I would really need to from the way you say it performs. Thanks for the info!

Like your videos, thanks. How are your graphics holding up as far as bubbling up on your nomad tank.??

Thanks for the informative update. Did you change the can on this bike? It looks different from the 10k and 16k review (though hard to see in the 16k). Thanks for the enlightening content.

Hi John, great videos as always. I’m new to riding and I purchased the 450L. I noticed you said you can gain more power by opening up the box. Is this achieved by simply taking of the cover above the air box under the seat? Regards

Hey John quick question what Exhaust system, you like better, yoshimira or the graves. And does one seem to run cooler than the other ? Trying to decide what one to get ...thanks

Hi John, Loving your content. If I get an GET SX-1 in Australia that’s not from tacmoto is it the same mapping, or do they fine tune it? Import duties into Australia are shocking…

When you did your ecu comparison. You said the AIM had the best low end out of the 3 and said if the GET had the same low end as the AIM, it would be the choice to go with. Is that now true with the GET SX1?

love the drills!

Should do a before and after comparison

Thanks John, I love your videos

In one of your ECU comparison videos you had hot restart problems with the GET ECU. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with your bike?

Good info as always. Thanks.

You look like Lee Van Cleef

Thanks for the info

Great video. I just bought the sx1, I can't wait to fit it. Do you think the flywheel upgrade is a benefit for the sx1 too ?

Get a beta and save the money

I'm looking for aftermarket ecu for my falcon 400cc

I sure miss your videos John!

I have the first version Runs so good. I'm at 2500 ft ele. But when I went to Silverton CO. @ 9300 ft. bike would not idle, idle knob would not work either. Long story short take your WiFi dongle with you so you can make adjustments. Ran so good at lower altitude did not even suspect I would have any issues. On a side note my buddy's 450L has Vortex got worse gas mileage but ran better than my bike.

Still running the throttle tamer with the get ? Thanks

Thanks for the update on this ecu and the future use.

Do i have to leave the wifi box hooked up ??
