how do you clean it?? and i also need new reeds, i think i have the stock reed valve so what reeds should/can i use,, where can i find them and will i have to re-jet?? thanks

Air filter is pretty easy to clean, a little messy as its soaked in oil, once cleaned recoat it in some gear oil and squeeze out the excess oil (too much oil will make it seem like running rich due to restricted air flow). As for a reed valves, i think that its safe to change them without having to change the jetting. I'd recommend carbon fibre reeds, the resist shattering on engine over reving. Not sure where to get them, a search on google maybe?
