Just grab the K&N Filtercharger Cleaning Kit from Canadian Tire... works like a charm. I think it was about $15-$20 but you can do a lot of cleanings for that.

the K&N Kit is good bang-for-buck in terms of the number of cleanings.

you can't use the KN filter kit to clean the uni foam filter. Try going to a motorcycle store, they carry tons of foam filter cleaners and oil.
