Richard,
Did you have the standard air filter?
I traveled with two friends with identical Hondas in very dusty conditions, one had the Honda filter and started to run badly as it cloged up, the other with an aftermarket filter (I think it was a cotton type filter) kept running OK but when we checked dust was getting past the filter, we could see a layer of dust on the carb inlets. I think foam filters are possibly the best option for re-usable filters.
Hope you get the bike up and running quickly without to much expense.
Steve
