OK I just took the cover off of my air box after the spring ride and OMG I beat about 2 or 3 pounds of dirt out of the filter.Is this normal,this can't be good for the engine.Any suggestions?

It was pretty durn dusty!!! Take the cover out behind the seats and check inside the rubber boot the air box fits into. If no dust in there, then you are in good shape.

Check for dust in the throttle body boot and on your butterfly if it's clean it should be fine and the filter did it's job.

I put a thin layer of grease on the walls of the filter box and lid.

I would rather have the dust collect there than get past the filter

Make sure you clean everything real good on the outside first before taking those boots apart to look into so you don't let something past that filter while your looking!
