If you can touch the rear header and not burn the hell out of yourself, you are only running on the front cylinder. Time to pull the carbs and give them a good cleaning.

it seems to be a given that if you replace the stock filter on a VTR with a free flowing one like K&N, then you're going to have to play with the jetting...

There's a great article by Hawkrider in the Knowledge Base section. It's KB #6. It will be a big help for taking the carbs apart and changing jetting.
The first thing to do is to make sure the carbs are clean. You may have to raise the stock needles by using washers. An alternative is to get a jet kit from Factory Pro or Dynojet. A search will disclose a lot of information.
