So my 2nd task has been completed. That was taking the seat, side fairing ( not necessary but I wanted to see what was there anyway) off, unscrewing the bar thing over the the air filter box with the 2 holes in it.

Removed the air cleaner filter
Washed with DAWN
Rinsed and rinsed and rinsed.
Let dry for like 2 min and decided to blow dry it. ( I felt that was ok since my blowdryer does not give split ends or damage hair.

Now the adding of oil. Welll..... I somehow interpreted that part as to SOAK it. and I did. HA huge oil dripping everywhere.
NO GOOD. NOT SAFE FOR ME, OR ANY OTHER BIKE OR PERSON WHO VENTURES BEHIND ME.

Took the day off work, went to my buddies and after the chuckles and guessing the weight of the air filter with the oil) we cleaned and wiped and made it right.

So another thing I need to do is next order a complete bolt set for the farings.

No two bolts are the same anywhere on this bike.

And as creativity has shown up before, this did not disappoint some parts were hot glue gunned.

Which I can attend to that had somebody informed me. Anywhooo thats coming next.
