My XL250 is missing the foam sleeve that goes over the gauze air filter. Does anyone know where I can get one, or where I could buy the foam and make one? I think the bike is running lean without it. Its an xl250s, 78 model.
I made my own, I think the OEM was a daft price, I got some foam that looked about the correct thickness from a upholstery shop, cut it to size with scissors and glued it together with that white "Copydex" type glue, give it a soak in oil and sqeeze it out before fitting.
Edit. you can make a load of filters from a sheet of foam so no need to ever have to clean the filter just throw it away and put a new one on!
