GEN3+ For Honda Pilot FL400R
Honda Pilot FL400R (1989–1990)
Its advanced metering rod system combined with a fully optimized multi-circuit fuel control design provides extremely precise fuel delivery at all throttle positions, resulting in faster acceleration, improved power transfer to the ground, and more consistent performance under varying riding conditions. Whether climbing hills, riding through technical terrain, accelerating out of corners, or riding aggressively in open terrain and dune environments, the GEN3+ delivers outstanding overall performance and rideability.
For stock displacement engines and riders who prioritize low-end torque, throttle response, controllability, and overall rideability, we generally recommend the 36mm version.
For heavily modified engines focused on maximum peak horsepower and stronger mid-to-top-end performance, we recommend the 38mm version. The larger bore size provides improved over-rev capability and greater high-RPM airflow potential for aggressive riding applications.
For sustained high-load or high-RPM riding conditions, the optional Power Jet system is also available to further improve top-end fuel delivery, engine cooling, and overall high-speed stability.
If your vehicle uses a gravity-fed fuel tank or an electric fuel pump system, please select the correct fuel valve configuration when placing your order. We will assemble the appropriate fuel needle valve system according to your application.
Please note that the original FL400R carburetor size is 34mm. When upgrading to our larger GEN3+ carburetors, the original intake manifold and intake boot cannot be used directly. An upgraded intake system or modified intake boot will be required for proper installation compatibility.
Torque Gain Circuit Recommendation
The Torque Gain Circuit is an additional fuel enrichment system designed to activate at lower throttle openings than the standard Power Jet circuit.
It can be understood as a secondary fuel assist circuit, or a low-throttle activation version of the Power Jet system. Unlike a traditional Power Jet that typically becomes effective near 1/2 throttle and above, the Torque Gain Circuit begins supplying additional fuel at earlier throttle positions and under higher engine load conditions.
This concept is very similar to the auxiliary enrichment design used on the Lectron Billetron Pro series.
We especially recommend this option for:
* Riders using high-ethanol fuel blends (such as in Brazil)
* Extreme riding environments with long-distance, sustained full-throttle operation
* Riders who want earlier and faster activation of the Power Jet effect under load
For standard riding conditions and conventional non-ethanol fuel, this circuit is generally not necessary.
Richer-Calibrated Metering Rod Recommendation
For riders who have already upgraded, or plan to upgrade, their engines with high-compression cylinder heads, modified cylinders, aggressive porting, racing exhaust systems, or other advanced engine modifications—and who want a wider tuning range—we strongly recommend purchasing an additional richer-calibrated metering rod as a backup option.
Throttle Assembly Recommendation
For the best riding experience, we highly recommend using our recommended throttle assembly together with the carburetor. It provides a smoother and more precise throttle feel, improved control accuracy, and a more refined riding experience across all riding conditions.
We provide one free throttle cable for every customer after placing an order.
If you do not plan to purchase our recommended throttle assembly, please select the correct throttle cable when placing your order so it can work properly with your original throttle assembly.
M8 throttle cable mainly covers:
Yamaha, Kawasaki, and Suzuki 125cc+ two-stroke models, such as YZ125/YZ250, KX125/KX250, RM125/RM250, etc.
M10 throttle cable mainly covers:
European models such as KTM, Husqvarna, GasGas, Beta, Sherco, and TM, especially models using Domino throttle assemblies. Honda two-stroke OEM throttle assemblies also belong to the 10mm series.
M10-90° / 4-stroke long cable mainly covers:
DRZ400, XR650R/L, KTM four-stroke models, etc.
If you choose our recommended throttle assembly, please note that this throttle assembly is only compatible with M10 throttle cables. In that case, please choose the correct M10 cable type: either the straight-end throttle cable or the 90-degree angled throttle cable.
Each XTNG carburetor is carefully pre-set at the factory based on the detailed information you provide. By taking into account your engine configuration, exhaust setup, riding style, fuel type, and premix ratio, we are able to deliver a highly refined baseline setting tailored specifically to your bike. This ensures an optimal air-fuel ratio across the entire operating range, improving efficiency, consistency, and overall rideability right out of the box.
Please note: XTNG carburetors are currently designed and calibrated primarily for use with standard gasoline fuels. At this time, ethanol-heavy fuels, alcohol fuels, and methanol-based racing fuels are not officially supported.
