If you do get a K&N - or other reuseable filter that gets oiled, be careful not to overoil it. I once bought a '77 GS750 that had a K&N replacement filter. It wouldn't rev beyond 6k. Checked plugs, wires, carbs, stator...everything. Found a forum post that suggested maybe the filter was overoiled causing restriction. Removed, cleaned and dried the filter good. Ran like a champ afterwards.

Just something to keep in mind.
