Blow backs, you can handle, it's the follow throughs that get messy.

if its foam,just get the correct cleaning +re-oiling kit for around £15.i had trouble with a pipercross foam filter albeit on a ducati,when they were dry the would cause the bike to miss fire over 70mph,once cleaned and oiled they worked perfectly.in fact i prefer them to k&n filters. just far simpler and do just a good as job

I think I was using the choke to much which caused the filter to get wet I think. I've ordered the cleaning now so hopefully will sort it.
