I have that same airfilter and I don't have any problems. Mine is jetted to Srinath standards: Well, 2 and 3/4 turns out on the mix screw, size 40 non-bleeder type pilot jets, .5mm up on the needle and 125 mains, stock airbox and exhaust. Float level set even with the top of the floatbowl using clear u-tube method. Vacuum balanced carbs. Valves adjusted a couple months ago at 20,000 miles (currently at 22,400).

Your plugs look fine, and just like mine...and how's that for a little rhyme?

Hmm. I'm really at a loss for why I might have this  big hole in power delivery, then. I mean, everything seems to check out pretty smoothly.

If this started happening right after the bike was knocked over then maybe something came loose and is preventing your slides from opening at the right proportion to throttle opening. Maybe a slight vac leak somewhere. If you have noticed this coming on gradually, maybe you're getting so used to the bike that you need more power!!  Most bikes I owned have gotten to where they felt like dogs once I got used to running them hard. But I just love that little GS (bless it's trying little soul) and this forum too.

C.......

Well I'm starting to ride it harder than I've ever ridden it before... instead of taking corners in second gear at 3-4k rpm, im taking them in second gear at 7-8k rpm... and when I roll on.. nothing there. If I pin the throttle, I get plenty of response, but its *too* much response, and things get hairy.

I think I'll be sending the carbs off to you, srinath. I'll send my new fuel lines and vacuum line along with the carbs. I guess I need some kind of jetting that will work with my filter (which looks pretty clean), but without neccessitating an aftermarket exhaust. I have no idea what kind of jetting is in the carbs right now... but I doubt it matches up with the high flow filter.[/img]

OK I'll swap out that float bowl of yours too ... I seem to have a couple of those lying about .... Yea UNI=Paper, Stock pipe ... no problem, 125/40/3 turns/1 washer ... Yea the usual ...
Cool.
Srinath.
