How often do you clean the throtte body?

I know 2007 models have the tendency to have a lot of oil spray from the motor and mine is one of them. I can ride 500 or so miles and when I take off the air cleaner there will be some oil that has accumulated on the bottom of the throttle body. There never is any dirt. So I have a monthly routine of spray cleaning it out.

The newest SE synthetic media filter is dry and washable. It filters out a lot more dirt and doesn't have oil in it which attracts dirt. Oil and gauze type filters degrade over time. Clean your K&N and hold it up to the light. Over time you will see small gaps in it. Ive had these discussions with K&N and they will not publicly admit the synthetic filter is better but independent testing prove it.
As far as re routing the breathers I use the DK Outlaw backing plate that vents to atmosphere but I have modified my engine to reduce the oil exiting the breathers. There are multiple threads on how to re route your breathers to the ground or a small separate filter if yours has a drip issue.
