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

Taco Mike installed their new GET SX1 ECU in my Honda CRF450L and I can see why Team Honda is using them to win everything moto. Buttery smooth throttle, tons of extra torque, as stall resistant as possible; plus it's programable thru the GET App. Pinch me!

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.

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.
