Default replaced air fliter/running lean?

I just replaced the air filter in my 1984 suzuki gs450l and it runs a little funny now it seems to lose power sometimes, like it was running out of gas then takes off again. If I put the old filter back in it works fine. I also took out the plugs and it seems to be running lean because the plug is whitish.

Does anyone know why it would do this just by changing the air filter and is there a way to fix that? (I know just leave my old air filter, but I'd like to know why it does this) Thanks.
