Today i bought a "can of pressured air" from a computer shop.
I think its a great way to clean not only "spark plug well" but air filter as well.

usl, don't use pressurized air on an air filter - the small can you have is probably not bad used carefully, but high pressure air blows holes in the air filter, allowing larger particles of dirt through than was originally designed.

Best way to "clean" a paper air filter is to just knock it on the ground, and replace when needed. That's why we recommend foam filters - last forever - just wash and reoil. There's several air filter threads on the HUBB, search for foam and K&N and you'll find them..

hey,

I did alot of riding in Alaska, Canadian logging roads and backroads in the USA and I made sure that I had the canisters used for blowing up tires to blow the small pebbles and sand out that my fat drinking fingers couldnt get at.
