I had a cheap Hi-Flo filter that i felt wasn't letting enough air through.
And it wasn't until i replaced it for a K&N that i realised how ill fitting it was too in comparison.
It rattled about by a good 5mm whereas the K&N was a very snug fit.

What symptoms did you get? I have one of those filters but have always had a hesitation when opening it up.

From what i can remember it just felt like it was gasping for air, as if the filter paper was too thick.
These bikes generally run a bit rich anyway so starving them of air could well be a cause of a hesitation problem.
If you want a quick test, just take the filter out for 10mins while the weather is good and go for a little test ride and see if the hesitation goes away.
If it does then it's a K&N all the way!
NOTE: This hot weather won't help matters if you have any breathing problems with an air filter.
