I ask because I have not ( yet)

I use a K&N type oiled filter and I live in the desert...so dirty and dusty.

I recently serviced the IAC on my GMC truck- 156,000 miles ( again a K&N oiled filter) and the residue on the shop towel was negligible.

I have used same type filters on many bikes and cars and have never really seen much gunk in the induction system.


So I wonder how many riders are having IAC problems which were solved by cleaning
- and what air filter they are using,
what environment is the bike used in primarily,
and is blow-by thought to be a contributor.

On my MM Injected SERG, its the air bleed nozzles that really do get diirty enough to get sprayed with carb cleaner once a year. It's certainly not the air quality here out in the NC woods ( except for the concrete plant where I work.) But with the breathers still running to the air cleaner it does get dirty in there.

(But that port doesn't have any moving parts on my bike. )

 

anyone else?
