A lot of people buy cheap Hi-Flo filters which are basically shit, and don't let enough air through.
They would still look like an OEM filter, but doesn't mean it is though.
I tried one for a few days years back then binned it because the bike just wasn't running right, and it was the only thing i'd recently altered.
On fitting a new K&N i noticed that the fit was completely snug and air tight around the top seal, whereas the HI-Flo had about 5mm of play so it just fell in.
Massive difference in airflow though, very noticeable in comparison.
