Didn't see you mention anywhere, but I assume you removed the old gas and put in new? Ideally, you would have also cleaned the tank with some type of solvent while you were at it.

Returning Visitors
If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.
If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Seems that everyone is overlooking the fact that the bike now has a K&N filter on it. I would venture to guess that if the bike still has the stock jetting in the carbs, its running very lean and is going to need a rejet. Add to the fact that the engine is cold so it's going to be starving even more. Do a full carb clean and take inventory of what jets are which while you are in there. That will give you a baseline of what you have if you do need to rejet.
Of course, this is assuming the carbs are set up as stock.

No my 1982 gs850g is bone stock and has only a k&n air filter and it starts and runs fine with it. me thinks it sat for a long time and the carbs are varnished up... but i've been wrong before.

Just my 2 cents worth, but I disagree with removing the inline filter as a rule. As a troubleshooting measure, have at it and see if it makes a difference. If it does... then it did its job. Replace it or clean it, but keep it. An inline filter is usually the easiest type to access and replace as necessary, in addition to which they can be obtained in a perfectly transparent housing which makes it easy to SEE if there's crap in your fuel. Why force the screens inside the carbs to block up, if you're going to have to partially disassemble the carbs to clean them? Again, it's just my personal preference.
