What air filters can fit the KLX250SF?
I tried the search but it is buggy and can't display anything (not sure if this is long term or not). What air filters can fit the KLX250SF? I've had the original for 15k miles and I guess that's long overdue. The bike is stalling when not warmed up and I think it has to do with either the fuel line/carburetor or the air filter being too dirty.
I can't seem to find any air filter specific for this bike besides OEM. If the answer includes a universal fit-style filter, what numbers do I look for in terms of fitment?

Hm, sorry to sound ignorant, but how do you check valve clearance? I hadn't even considered that.
As for cleaning the filter, how much benefit do I get with an aftermarket? How do I clean it? Just water and squeeze it like a sponge? Or do I need some oil or solvents?

YOu really only need to check the valve clearances once at around 6 to 8k and if they are well in spec you should be fine for another 15k or so.
You can find a ton of information using the search function, especially things like valve adjustments etc.

Do you use solvent to clean it or just dishwashing liquid? Is it necessary to oil the foam filter?

k&n air filter will be fine for a klx250sf...but, your problem seems to be exactly what happens when your valve clearance are out of spec...you should check your valve clearance and i bet you'll need to replace the valve shims...
