On my bike I use a cleaning powder made for Motocross filters and spray filter oil, any large Motorcycle shop will stock it.

Halfords to the cleaning / recharge kit for about £15 although you can get it cheaper online. It's not a pleasant job as you end up with a bucket of soapy water with a pink film of oil & grime. It is claimed that it gets better the more dirt that gets trapped, but I personally would clean it once a year regardless.
