Man I sure hope they let you add it on. I want that live valve on my R!

HONDA ADDING LIVE VALVE & LAUNCH MODE TO 2021 TALON 1000R | UTV Action Magazine

Similar to what Yamaha has on the YXZ1000R SS paddle shift model, You can rev the engine and in theory “dump the clutch” to take off quicker in a drag race situation.

Cool! I would suspect FOX would offer some sort of trade up on current systems to get Live Valve now.

I spoke with Fox prior to that news release. Honda is controlling it, they can’t sell them after market. I hope that changes

Based on what I've read, the live valve system is pretty integral to the machine, taking electronic measurements and data from many sources. Engine, transmission, accelerator pedal, brakes, inclinometer, and gyro from what I can tell. I'm not saying Honda could never offer an "add-on", but it seems very unlikely due to complexity of the system. If they did offer one, you'd still have (most likely) a exorbitant price tag, and you'd have to really trust the installer because it wold be a major undertaking. One would be better off just trading up. Of course, just sharing my opinion.
