Anyone know an air filter I can replace the OEM filter with?
have my bike apart while I wait for a bunch of other pieces to get here in the mail and decided to clean the air filter. I opened it and there wasn't anything but the black ashes of the old air filter.
I don't feel like rejetting and messing around with pods -since I love how quiet my bike is- so I'm just going to replace it with an OEM filter or something similar. Is there anything I could buy at autozone/ any other parts store that would work/ fit in the stock airbox? |

Yeah. Something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNI-AIR-FILT...b46948&vxp=mtr
Which I don't think is available at most of the motorcycle stores/ autozones here. I'll have to call around on Monday (or buy online) and see. if I can't find anything autozone would have that works. |

Also, if anyone would happen to know how (or if) I should clean the screens inside? I'm just going to scrape up the old filter and wipe down the inside with a damp cloth and dry it off. |

You can't pull the screen out, unless you take the box apart.
I would clean the debris the best possible (vacuum maybe), since any soft remains wouldn't cause any damage to the engine. Any piece of 1/2"~3/4" foam (polyurethane foam) that is cut close to the shape will work while you wait for an original filter. Just soak it in regular oil and eliminate the excess. I just bought and installed one original air filter from Ron Ayers; it was around $4 if I remember correctly. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_filter#Foam
