Default K&N Filter for SV650K5 - FI

All,

Has anyone tried such a filter on a non-modified FI SV (naked)? I've installed K&N filters in my cars for years. They give them a slight improvement and a nice "roar". There is a lot of comments out there, but they all relate to the non-FI version of the SV.

What I have in mind is - if the K&N gives me a little little extra grunt - to increase the front sproket by 1t. As is the SV is like a little tractor. There aren't that many curvy roads around here and I figure I can use extra lenght in the gears in order to shift less when riding with my 600-IL4 friends.

What do you think? Comments appreciated.
