Does that mean I should not replace athe air filter but just clean it?

Yes, just replace your vacuum line first, but when you take the old one off, check to see if there is any fuel in it, if there is, then your petcock is bad, if not, then it is more than likely just the line is bad.
this is a helpful tip... i myself am having stalling issues but only at any given time at or around 60mph....
i will change my vac line first thing tomorrow using this idea in mind..

It depends how dirty it is. Air filters last for many years
and can be vacuumed and cleaned w/compressed air IF
they are not too old.
Does it look like this, from the outside: (just clean it, buy later)
Or this? From the outside (unusable, must replace now)
** i found it here for $14.95, but i do not know this company

...and this is where the air filter goes:

One more day, one more problem...
Same thing happened again while I was coming back from Kragen store. I could feel the bike didn't respond to the throttle and clearly needed gas.
I was riding on PRI.
It stalled while riding, I pulled over on the side of the road and tried restarting it but nothing. I looked at my gas tank and it seemed empty so I put the fuel valve on Reserve but it wouldn't start either.
Fortunately I was 1 block from home so I pushed the bike home. At this time it still doesn't start.
Maybe it just needs gas??? Since I was riding on PRI, would it have eaten up all the gas reserve even though I didn't put the fuel valve on Reserve???
I don't have a car so I can' go get gas until my fiance comes home...
Man, this bike is more problem than fun so far...
What do you think?

That's the problem with PRI, you don't have a reserve tank anymore.
If you fill your tank with gas you should be working again.
To test your vacuum tube without spending any real money, you could take off the tube, put some sealer on the stems and then put the tube back on, make sure that you get the clamps back on too, any air leak and the tube wont work right. If you don't have any silicone engine sealer, you could dab a little petroleum jelly from the bathroom instead. (make sure you lube only the outside of the stems, you don't want to cover the hole itself.)

Problem solved!
I remember I owned one of these old inventions called "bicycle" so I took it for a spin to the nearest gas station and bought a container with gas and poured it into my bike. It didn't start at first, then I pulled the choke (even though the bike was warm) and it started.
What I learned: always check your fuel tank before leaving home!!!
How many miles on average do you guys run on a full tank?

I learned that once my on my 250 marauder and twice on my savage lol. Welcome to the club. I will go about 130km highway riding before I fill up. In the city i fill up every 120km or so just because I was working two jobs and commuting about 50km a day. So about
74-80 miles before I fill up just to be safe. I dont have reserve on my bike, only use pri untill I can get a raptor 660 petcock.

"I tried restarting it but nothing. I looked at my gas tank and it seemed empty"
...Lot to learn, you have young jedi. Yes, hmmm.
- Savage = small gas tank
- Full tank = 100miles (about 150km w/"reserve")
some people use an old briefcase lock to help them remember when it's time for gas again
Man, this bike is more problem than fun so far...
No! don't say that, motorcycle mechanics is pure fun!
...thats why we all have savages instead of therapists
