I'm not a great mechanic but though I'd post some pics showing how to replace an air filter. If I can do it, you can do it! So get that OEM filter out and put in something worthy of your machine.
The procedure is in the owners manual under "Replacing the air filter element". I would suggest doing this when the gas tank is near empty. Note that there are 2 wire connectors under the fuel tank that you will need to unplug in order to lift up the tank fully. Also, the fuel tank breather hose and overflow hose that run down from under the seat will need to be pulled up a bit. Take note of where these go in case you need to put them back in place. I pulled mine right out and hung them up on the tank as they were leaking! When putting the tank back down again, be very careful not to kink these hoses.
