Classic symptoms of carb icing, either put the origional filter back on or rig up a hot air feed from the exhaust manifold to the k+n.

bored up behind ur mesh grill leavin only a few inches to let the hot air out for traffic, keepin the hot air in, if this sorts it then its deff carb icing, then invest in a standard filter, i jus had this problem, works fine now, got my standard filter but aint even put it on yet coz i aint had a problem since my quick fix
