I was a bit shocked by the amount of crud that had collected between the inner airbox and air filter when I checked it the other day. So I am considering fitting some sort of mesh grill over the air intake to try to stop some of this stuff getting in.

Good idea, bad idea ?

My main concern is if it will restrict air flow enough to become a problem to the fueling.

It will restrict flow and make less power.

Better to check/clean the air filter more often. Simple as that.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing when I removed my airbox. It's not actually in the filter, it's just in the airbox. Bits of leaf, dust, and sand, for the most part. I wondered about some screen for the snorkel, but others told me it was no big deal.

The airbox looks like it was designed to do this.
Like a good canister vac.
Places for big stuff to settle means less stuff flying around to filter out.

Clean your airbox more often.
