Very well spoken, WD. Jan, remember to check the colour of your sparkplug after your first run with the new settings, so you'll know for sure the air/fuel mixture is correct. The plug should be light brown, not white, ok.
When putting on another airfilter I have been adviced from a professional engineer and biketuning expert that the further away from the carb you put the new easyflow-filter the better. Try to get rid of the old airbox and put a 10 cm (4 inches) long pipe of the same diameter as inlet/outlet between the carb and the filter. This will allow the streaming air to "settle" while flowing into the carb, and you will thus get ALL the advantage of this new filter.
