Just a quick question on air filters: Is the oily sponge thingy that I have bought in my blaster the stock filter? If so, how will it ever survive all the dust and dirt when riding with the lid off? Should it be such a sticky mess at all?

It should be sticky with filter oil but you have to clean it every time it gets too dirty and then apply new filter oil. that is the down side of ridding in very dusty area's
if you're worried about it put a outerwears cover on or put the stock lid on and put some vents in it. if your currret filter is nasty get a new one.
Honestly I do not know if I should be worried at all? I have read somewhere on the forum that you can oil it using 2-Stroke? If that is the case, what do I use to clean it?
when i had my stock one i just filled up a little bowl with gasoline and let it sit in there for a couple minutes, worked great
i use varsol spaint thinner mixed with water in a bowl. then i mushed my filter around in it till it was clean. let it dry, then oil it using filter oil. air filter oil is better because its more tacky so it catches more dirt. if u clean it regularily u shouldnt have any problems.
I didn't know gas ate the glue... now i know why it fell off the little black thing haha thats why i switched to a k&n
