Spray the inside of your airbox with some of that really sticky filter oil.

If dirt gets past your filter, it has a good chance of getting stuck to the airbox instead of getting in the carb.

Only problem with this one is that the airbox on most trials bikes is on the wrong side of the filter. i.e. the filter fits on to the neck of the carb.

I read somewhere that you need to be careful when doing this as the oil can get drawn through into the carb which causes all sorts of silly problems.

A good idea though, I do it, just do not use too much!

Not on gas gas pro's :D I cant help but get oil all over the inside of the air box trying to do the poxy fiddley job of screwing the air filter on :D

How do you clean the inside of the airbox after putting the oil in it?

I have a Sherco and the holes into the airbox don't allow for much cleaning action through them. :D
