You probably want to change the jetting.  Check-out

Did you oil the filter?

Unlike the K&N In-Airbox Stock Replacement filter (SU-5589), the UNI does not come oiled from the factory.  If you haven't oiled it, you are probably getting more air throughput than you should, and the bike is running extra lean.
