Default How often to clean the air filter?

I usually hear to do it before every ride. Ive read a few times on here that you only need to do it like once every 20 hours or so. Just curious which one of these is more correct. Thanks. Its a stock filter as well.

Denver660R,
My suggestion is: more than you can. I don't think you can clean your filter enough. I ride in sand, change it after every 2 rides, my builder said that I need to do it mroe often. Do it every chance you get.
