i did notice the other day when checking my air filter that alot (well more then none) of dust has gotten past my filter and stuck to the side of my air box and inside the pipe.

Im interested to know if you got any responses on this one? It seems to make sense, although maybe this crap just burns cleanly with the cleaner and smokes out the muffler.....but I TOO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW if it is ill advised to send that stuff through the engine. Thank you
