Special thank to @Tabascojunkie for picking up a bounty tasks and putting together a video on servicing the Air Filter on his Honda Pioneer 1000 Side by Side!
I dropped a battery terminal bolt down the air intake today.
I tried a magnet but turns out the bolt is non-magnetic.
Tied the shop vac but could get it.
Started to disassemble things then i remembered this video and got the bolt by shop vac from the main filter.
I'm not a fan of those new push-in clips - but this is coming from a guy that drops parts down the air intake.

When I was working under the hood of the P1000, I took the pre filter and stuffed it in the intake tube to be safe. Because like you, I'm prone to dropping stuff too.
I have a 2019 1000-5 which has pretty much the same setup. I was at Durhamtown this weekend and she started bogging down when I got on the throttle. My first thought was bad fuel since I had filled up that morning at their fuel depot but I checked the filter and it was fairly dirty. Printed on the plastic filter housing 3x was "do not use compressed air to clean". Using my hands and a paper towel I cleaned it fairly well and put it back in. Took her around the track a few times and problem was solved until 4th lap. It was REALLY dusty this weekend but I have fewer than 400 miles on this filter. Do I need a new one or is there a way to clean this one?
