What is launch control used for trail riding? I would probably launch right into a tree! HA! The Talon's are fast and would love to have a 2 seat X, but that would mean I would have to keep our P1 and have 2 s x s's to maintain.

Can the launch control be adapted to the Pioneer or would you have to use the Talon ECU?

Not doubting just curious why it would be bad idea? Too rough on the clutches?

They need to make a Talon with rear seats like a Pioneer then or maybe a sport Pioneer
Why would you subject anyone to the uncomfortable hot rear Pioneer style seats in a Talon when Honda made a perfectly good 4 seat model?

What... no way...
It cant be as simple as changing out the HSA switch... can it?

Pull your HSA switch out and ground the brown and red wire. That is pin A19. View attachment 163628

How would they compensate for the "Launch" switch that is only present on the 4 seat Live Valve Edition? Wouldn't it have to be wired in too?

Rear seats are hot yes but we don’t go out riding expecting to be cool in an ac. I have two kids who always ride with us and they never complain since adding the fans under front seats blowing back and heat barrier under seats. I agree the Talon 4 is an awesome machine but I’d like to be able to run our trails without having to make three point turns due to the added wheelbase. Now when my kids are older and gone I will definitely be in a two seater but that’s going to be awhile. Would just like little better performance

Idk.
On the ecu. Pin A19 says LAUNCH and already has a wire to it that goes to the HSA switch on all 2019 models. Brown/red wire.

I just ordered a HSA/LC switch to test its functionality.

All these complaints about twitchy throttle, now people trying to add the new launch mod to make it take off faster. Doesn't it already break the tires loose just punching the throttle if off pavement?

I too, think this is all that it's going to take to make Launch Control work on a '19 model.

My 4wd switch is wired to A19 now. I havent tried to pull the paddles back in 4wd to see what it does. Kinda hope it doesn't work...

You'll probably have to wait until it can be unlocked from the ECU. My best guess is it's one more thing to buy down the road and they'll offer it as "just a tune and you're ready to go!" They probably didn't expect anyone to look up a diagram yet.
