Picked up a Yamaha Breeze 125 for the kids so that they can ride with us comfortably now.

I am going through the owners manual and checking what things I need to get for 'maintenance'

I see there is a foam air filter - says it needs to be cleaned with "solvent" - any idea what kind i should use?

Also, the foam air filter needs to be lubed. Where can i get foam air filter lube?

Where would i get spare air filter? and would the cost be worth just replacing the foam filter every spring?

Dishwasher soap and water clean and rinse then let dry completely then put a small amount of engine on it and squeeze it in your hand make sure the filter is totally saturated but not dripping oil you can buy special oils like K and N but they are for cloth material hope that helps if you need more filters try royal distributing

You can get spray on oil for foam filters. Canadian tire or any motorcycle, Atv shop

No toil makes a cleaner that you can use in your kitchen sink. You have to use their filter oil though. Easier to use this setup instead of chemicals
