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.

here the answer:
K&N Recharger Air Filter Cleaning Kit part Number 99-5000EU (tested in the states with exemplary reviews) also used by the boys at Santa Pod drag racing circuit.
