Have you read your owner's manual? The service manual is not saying what you have been told.
I have no idea however what an export bike receives different from overhere. Or your road conditions.
Over here, it takes a long long time for the average street bike filter to get dirty.
And also, interestingly, a FI bike air filter does not affect performance like on a carburetor bike.
On a carburator bike, restrictions cause a rich mixture which of course is harmful to motor.
A FI bike justs cut fuel. Of course WOT power drops. But within reason, until filter gets really bad, you do not even notice it.
(riding on dirt roads now is a different story. Then you are better off with a washable oil soaked filter with probably a foam mesh over cover.
Just an opinion and my thoughts..not telling you what to do for sure.

Do not blow it hard. Most air guns will open up areas between weave of fibers that will render it inefficient in trapping. That is why they say how to clean it . It is best to maybe rinse from inside out. Bucket of warm soapy water. Another rinse, and shake. Let it dry enough not dripping before using. That will swell and snug the fibers.
