sdhynds Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 You should be able to find those jets at your local Yamaha shop. I have an 82 xs400 maxim - (don't know what the difference is if any for the carbs) I have found jets for mine on ebay. They are Mikuni Carbs. Search for - Mikuni Main Jet N100/604 - here is a link to a 130 (recommended to me by another guy on a different thread for running pod filters) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-MIKUNI-MAIN-JET-N100-604-VM-HS-HSR-TM-CV-XS-H1-130_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem588671488fQQitemZ380212693135QQptZMotorcyclesQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I haven't got mine done yet but hopefully by this weekend.

armyofda12mnkeys Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks Guys i ended up just going up to the Yamaha dealer and ordering some. Is there a huge advantage to Pod air filters over the stock? Also I remember someone saying Uni air filters end up better than the pod's for some reason on a recent thread here (forget the reason why)... My mechanic removed my filters so need to buy new ones. Think my 78 XS400 bike that i bought last year has a 2-1 aftermarket exhaust, guessing they are the Mac ones since they are only company I see making them. If I do install pod or uni, will the carbs definately need to be rejetted or it just will be '5%' off and air/fuel screw will be enough to compensate for that? Thanks!

LostCost Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I have ordered pod filters for my XS500 because the stock air-box was missing when I bought the bike. I live in Denver at 5300 feet, is it possible the increased air from the pods will be counterbalanced by the reduced air density at altitude? Or will I likely need to re-jet as well?

bznchris Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 that's a great question, LostCost. I'd like to know the answer too. I do know that a stock fuel mixture is usually good up to 3000ft at least. But since these bikes usually came from the factory lean, they should be on for higher altitudes.
