It is definatley time to change my air filter again and I have some questions-

Its looking like $25, is it cheaper to just make my own?

I've been changing it once a season, they say to clean it like every 3 times you ride. I want the engine to last as long as possible, but is it needed?

How often do you check/clean/change your air filter?

Thanks a ton

clean it a lot dude. Your engine will get bogged down if you dont, and run richer. Also, use No-toil. Ive been using it for about 3 years now.......works great!! So simple, not messy, and no need for gas or solvent. Also, when u change it be sure not to drop dirt in the air box. It can get sucked into ur engine.....which is baaaaaaaad.

also put a ring of lithium around the bottom where the filter goes on the airhole and u will never suck in dirt
