Air filter due a clean or replacement ?
K&N, the bike is only on around 45K in total, not entirely sure without checking when fitted but it shouldn't be that anyway.

Why shouldn't it be that? Have you ever cleaned the filter since you fitted it? Always worth a check, also make sure your plug caps are tight on the leads. This would be just a start point.
What many do not realise is the the Sahara dust issues last year left many air filters requiring premature changing/cleaning.
I cleaned 2 K&N filters for 2 bikes used in the UK around that time and both had over 5mm of dust on the base of the filter box which was oil laden and going nowhere. The amount which came out of the filter was like they had ridden through a sand storm.

Okey doke, fair point, i'll have to take a look at that on Saturday. :thumbup
Bit more info for the record, did the same again this morning, most noticeably between 2000-3000rpm, but especially noticeable at 2500rpm.
Found a clear bit of road and gave it some welly, and it responded with no issues at all or spluttering, I went up to about 80mph in a few seconds without faltering, restricted feeling or any bad noises.
Yet when I ride around the 2500rpm mark it sounds more like a twin engine with quicker pulsing noises?
