In my owners manual it states that my air cleaner is a non-woven fabric element. In the air cleaner section of "Inspection and Maintenance", it states that to clean it you use pressurized air.

Just thought I'd make sure I'm doing things right. I shouldnt oil the filter should I? The filter itself is white so I'm assuming no oil was used by the previous owner. I'm only doubting myself after a conversation with someone on MSN

Unlikely. It's K&N aftermarket type filters that need oiling, or sponge type on off-road bikes.

Original manufacturer items don't need oiling. Personally I would always replace rather than clean. Use compressed air if you have a compressor. Or if it's filthy you could use a vacuum cleaner to suck some of the dirt out as a short term fix, but replacement is best IMHO.
