800 CVT filter keeps plugging up

It doesn’t take long for my CVT filter to get plugged up like this. I’m having thoughts of just taking it off, from what I’ve heard, the 500 and 650 don’t have this filter, so really, what would it hurt? But I like having the idea of not running all this crap through my CVT, but sometimes I wonder if I’m doing more harm by blocking the airflow in overheating the CVT. I try to keep it clean, but. Thoughts?
