Dude, when is the last time it was cleaned?
OK, first take the filter out of the air box, put it on your head snuggly, apply Head & Shoulders shampoo to it, then get on your bike and ride around in circles for 15 minutes.
I use the No Toil kit. In fact, I just went and picked up a new one today. They give you a powder that you dissolve into warm water, then wash the filter well in that water, let dry overnight, then spray the entire filter with the filter oil very well. Squeeze out any excess oil. Also apply the silicone around the edge of the filter to help seal it back on the airbox opening.

Yeah, you definitely need to be cleaning it much more often. I clean mine about every 3rd or 4th ride.
