A K&N filter will allow more airflow. Because the fuel metering has remained the same, the extra airflow will now have the fuel ratio running on the lean side. The more air, the leaner it gets. You have to upjet to match the airflow. What type of K&N is it? In the airbox (stage 1 kit recommended) or is it pods ( stage 3 kit recommended)?

What bike?

As a personal rule of thumb if I'm fitting a free flowing exhaust can and a K&N element I go up a couple of sizes on the mains and see how it goes, tweaking the needles if it feels like it needs it too.

Not saying it's perfect or suits every bike however has proved to be a good starting point over the years/bikes.
