New air filters

foam filters? brand or a pic but yeah oil foam. I like some light oil like ATF, mix it 50 50 with mineral spirits, NOT gasoline, pour it in a Windex (pump spray) bottle and sparingly spritz it. Wash with dish detergent and re-oil periodically depending on how dusty it is where you ride.
 
This one?


Air Filter
$19.95
Air Filter Air Filter - OEM Ref.# 3G1-14451 - Made in Japan. Fits: XS650G-K - All 1980-84 650's 2 used per bike. Part #15-0655 $19.95 Ea.

Kinda why I asked; original type filters aren't foam they are "mouse fur" and don't get lubed. If these are foam and not that unusual yamaha filter material then yes oil them as above.

The ones i have look just like in picture and I got them from XS.com so not OEM Yamaha. It is the right part number so i will NOT oil them. How many mice does it take for one filter. LOL.
Also I paid quite a bit more for mine. Around $26.00 each. Where is this that you get such a good price??
Thanks
