rotella t will work just fine.

I'd skip on the K&N. Personal preference/experience, I'd opt for a nice twin air

What's in it right now is a moose racing air filter. Should I stick to that? Idk anything about them.

I only ever buy twin air air filters for all of my bikes. However, the set up of the TTRs is not the norm when it comes airboxes. The k&n filter works well for that set up, but I wouldn't use it on my race bikes.

Yeah this will be a trail and wheelie bike. I don't plan on catching much air or swimming in mud/water.

I would run the moose. just normal care and cleaning. if you want the k and n sticker I am sure I have some. I would buy extra gloves with the money you will save on the air filter and rebuilds.

The moose should be fine. I don't trust filters I can see thru without holding it up to a light and advertise things like the dirtier the better (k&n)

Alright. Well all of this is moot at this point as I've still not been able to get it running for more than 5 seconds. I'm thinking there's something clogging the carbs. Anyone know how to take them apart? Or have a reference I can look at?

I'm with CDA on the air filter possibly being over oiled. It just seems like too much of a coincidence that it was running good until the filter cleaning.
Before you get all gung ho and tear apart the carb, try taking the filter off and see if it runs.

Just pull it off the bike, check the bras screws settings, write it down, then tear it to bits and soak it in Yamalube dip/carb cleaner for a few hours. Re-assemble and don't forget to set float.

Check the what screw settings? As soon as I'm able I'm going to tear down the carb and see if that's the problem. I'm looking for a free PDF of a manual but haven't found one yet.

In the video above I've removed the air filter entirely. Same problem.

As a side note, my coworker mentioned it may be ethanol in the gas clogging the carbs. I gave a little more merit to this as I've already filled the gas tank after my last good run on the bike.

OK,good. that's one thing eliminated. Palmer is talking about the "brass" as in jets. It's very likely they could be plugged due to ethanol.

It's not the ethanol per say but the reaction it has with the brass and aluminum.
Use marine stabil in your gasand lately I've been mixing chainsaw premix oil into it. About 2oz per 3-5 gals of premium. It's eliminated the clogging issue so far in all of my small engines.
