Overkill,
OK, so you have a new intake coming. Good for you.
But, you need to set a routine to inspect the canister housing after every dusty ride.
Remove the filter, shake the dust out of it. Look at the inside, it should be pure white. If there are any dust colored spots or areas, pitch it and put in a new one.
Use a damp cloth to remove all the dust on the inside of the canister.
Look through the canister into the boot between the canister and the throttle body. You may see bit of oil where the engine breather hose connects to the boot. Clean...fabulous. Dusty, you need to remove the boot and clean it in warm soapy water.
Look through that boot to the throttle body, does the inlet end (towards the air canister) have any dust in it? No...great! Yes....not good.
Use a clamp to fully depress the gas pedal, or have someone hold it down. Look through the throttle body? Any signs of a "mud" made from dust and gasoline past the throttle plate? No...great! Yes...you probably need a top end job.
If there is any "mud" present, remove the throttle body and inspect the intake manifold boot and the intake ports. If you find "mud"...bad. Do a compression test to see if things are going bad.
I do this check after every ride. Since failing a motor and starting this procedure, I have some dust on the filter, change it about every fourth ride. I use an LED flashlight and a LED lighted video probe to inspect the whole intake system. Don't want another failed motor!!
I'm also planning, this winter, to move the intake canister up to the driver's side of the bed where I used to carry a gas can. This will make it much easier to do my inspections than the canister wedged up under the bed.
Just some thoughts. Good luck!!
