A clogged air filter will cause your engine to run poorly, and in extreme cases, dust and grit could find its way into the motor with potentially devastating consequences.
For the average road-rider, sticking to the recommended service intervals will be fine. However, those riding in extreme locations – for instance across deserts – will need to change the filter more regularly. The tank will most likely need to be removed, but then accessing the filter is usually a simple job.
A clean air filter is necessary for the safe breathing of your engine, there are multiple aftermarket suppliers who offer lifetime air filter units but please be aware these still need regular checking, cleaning and oiling.
