IT"S LEAN! You increased the air flow and didn't add any fuel to the charge. The cold temps are going to make it seem even worse. Re-jet that thing.

+1 on this and checking for a leak. Plus, was the bike warmed up with choke in & heads warm to the touch, or was the choke still out?

Oh, plus you may need to re-jet the carb anyway since you'll probably flow more air in now. Not many people like the hypercharger. I like my BSII.
