Ive been riidine my bike for about a year now with out an air filter. If i keep it that way will it mess it up or will it just make its life shorter or neither?
Air Filter

no air filter really will reduce the life of the carb and engine can go to autozone and buy a small k&N type for under 15 bucks
Air Filters, Oil Filters And Gas Filters Are The Best Thing To Happen To Engines. The Oil Bath Air Filters Are The Best. K&n Propably Next Best. Imho.
These engines are pretty crude and inexpensive, so if there were an engine to run without a filter....that said I personally like to make stuff last and the carb inlet is close to the back tire.....a few grains of sand can grind all your hard work.
Here's what I use:
HEY PABLO, I DID NOT REALIZE YOU STOCKED THAT AIR FILTER. LOOKS LIKE A K&N OR EQUIVELENT FILTER. MAYBE EVEN BETTER!!?? I HAVE AN ORDER LIST MADE OUT FOR 1/2 DOZ OF YOUR PARTS. I WAS WONDERING ABOUT A SMALLER FREE WHEEL CRANK SPROCKET HOOKED UP TO THE JACKSHAFT OUTPUT SPROCKET FOR MORE LOW END STARTING POWER, AND MORE USE OF THE HIGHER GEARS ON THE CASSETTE. I KNOW YOU HAVE A 10% SMALLER SPROCKET. I HAVE NOT INSTALLED MY SHIFT KIT YET. MAY NOT BE NECESSARY TO GEAR LOWER, BUT I AM XXX LARGE!!! IT IS ONLY 60 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO HERE THIS MORNING!! 
5 BELOW BK HOME. 
WITH YOUR AND GHOSTS` SHIFT KIT ETC AND JIM AT CREATIVE ENGINEERING IT LOOKS GREAT FOR MB`ING. AND DON`T FORGET HIKERS` LITTLE HELPERS!!

I like the low end grunt of the 9T sprocket, makes first and second gear real stump pullers.
a clean air is always good for the engine... dust and sand can clogged up your carburetor and grind up the internal parts of the engine...
