Measure the OD of the carb inlet. Ebay is full of after market filters. K&N is the best IMHO. You will pay for them too.

I am running a DNA filter #P-KY3SC11-01 for the 2011 DT300I. Same type thing as the K&N except K&N does not make one for the DT.

They are Almost lifetime. Wash, and oil. That is all there is to it. They will save lots of $'s over their life span.

any other , maybe a bit cheaper options ? just funny how much items i can compare to value of this filter . (sport windshield for an example )
there's must be someone on this forum using something better then stock . ( BTW im looking for online shopping so my only option is WORLD WIDE shipping. or middle east :D )(freakin' 3rd world )

Hey guy you can solve your problem by improving or change the air flow filter. The process of flow should be clear hence it would like to change. Other wise another option is that measure the OD of carb inlet.  Now Ebay is full of after market filters. And use it very softly.
