My 81 xs 400 special II has both front and rear drum brakes. Now almost every photo i've seen online of my model bike has a single disc in the front. Why is mine different and how hard would it be to convert the front to disc and what parts would I need? also is it worth doing? thanks -Mike

ah thanks! i was looking everywhere for the filters, but i guess i didn't look hard enough, and i'm most likely gonna take off and clean the carbs while i wait for the filters to get here, i'll let you all know how that goes. thanks again!

really? was it simple to do? do you have any pictures?

Hey everyone! My names Mike and I just bought an 81 XS400. I'll have some pics up soon! It runs great I just had a few questions: 1. It needs air filters, I have no idea where to get them, anyone know? Also I heard of some people replacing the stock filters and housings with aftermarket cone filters, is this a good idea? and if so where do I get those? and 2. It seems like the throttle sticks a little, when I rev it up the rpms take a second or 2 to calm down once i've closed the throttle. any idea what's causing that? Thanks for you time, any advice will be very appreciated!
