As was brought to my attention on here, we can get some weird and not so wonderful weather that can consist of smoke or even desert dust from abroad that can really mess with an air filter, especially if the air has been damp beforehand.
Totally up to you but consider a K&N air filter, they're a little bit dearer than a paper one but it"ll be the last one you ever buy for the bike.
They're pretty low maintenance, but when i do clean mine i use washing machine powder in warm water and just shake the filter gently in the water for about 15mins, then rinse off with plain water and let dry naturally. I do a light spray of the proper K&N air filter oil afterwards though.
It does make the throttle response sharper and you just get a cleaner all round feel when accelerating.

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
