Air filter in Dusty areas?
I live in AZ. It is dust and silt central. Just rode through a wee dust storm and everything where i live is coated in dust. If you live in a similarly dusty area .. how often do you change your air filter. Visually it looks fine, I changed it about 1.5 years ago but that doesnt mean the paper element is still permitting air the way it used to. Just wondering.

It gets pretty dusty here, but my filter is just a foamy cover. Just rinse, oil and reuse. I do have a K&N but haven't used it. I'll rinse and oil it around 5k miles.Roger

The factory manual calls for blowing out the filter every 2000 miles and replacing every 7500. If it's particularly dusty I'd blow it out more often and maybe change it at 5k. And don't use a K&N because they don't filter the air very well. They flow a lot of air for a reason...Ed
