    My 510 came with an an empty airbox.
    I know the original was some kind of paper filter with a wire mesh gauze.

    I am using a 81 maico filter and cage (perfect fit and I had it), but how necessary is the mesh ? for backfires I know)

    Any problems not using a the wire mesh?

    maybe the the wire mesh is a not such a bad idea!
    would take a long time to get the seat off!

    If you have cleaned a K&N air filter with compressed air, please throw it in the trash, as you have ruined the physical characteristics that make it work. The filter is constructed of layers of gauze between the pleats of screening. Once you blow air through it, you make all the air spaces in the weave line up in the gauze so that lots of dirt can pass through.

    The way to clean a K&N is to dunk it repeatedly in warm soapy water or use the K&N cleaning kit, then let dry naturally.
