Hey! Thanks for the reply. I looked up the part number and found it on ebay, I guess it's 48mm? I don't know about the jetting either... Looks like I'll be going stock for a while. Thanks for the suggestion! -Peter

Hello forum members! I'm new here and recently started riding an '81 xs400 special II. (my first bike!!) I'm pretty new to this but it was running rough so I checked around the bike cleaned out some of the jets I could get to in the carbs, and then discovered the air filters had holes and were various shades of brown/black. Instead of replacing them with stock air filters, I was thinking of ditching them for some K&N's and also replacing the battery with a battery eliminator. (since it's kick start anyways, my electric starter is busted, and that'd lighten it). What do you guys think? Does anyone know of K&N's that fit XS400 carbs? Also, has anyone had experience with battery eliminators? Thank You! Peter
