Great idea on the plastic baggie. I wish I had seen this yesterday. I just cleaned the air filter on my KLX last night using the "No-Toil" kit. Worked nicely, except that I made a mess of my hands while trying to work the oil into the filter and then squeezing out the excess. I started out with rubber gloves on, but took them off since it made it hard to work with the filter.
I used the "No Toil" cleaner, put the filter in a bucket with hot water, let it sit for awhile, then washed it with my hands, rinsed it thoroughly, and used a blow dryer to dry it (no patience for waiting for it to air dry), then applied the oil and made a mess.
Bike seems to like it fine today, and also changed the oil and filter last night too, dropped in some Mobil 1.
And now its raining, just in time to ride home. :^(
