I think it depends on more than that.
The original twin conical airfilters lived under the cowling and picked up
hot air from inside the cowling, the later one piece air filter takes its
air from outside the cowling.
With the Classic firewall forward the cowling has the radiators at the front
and so the internal temperature is much greater than in the XS FWF
installation.
I agree that any misfiring might be a fuel quality problem, I assume you
haven't had any misfiring of any sort ?
I definitely was getting some minor hiccups after 40 minutes and on backing
off the throttle. I have now fitted the SkyDrive kit and will report back as
to whether the misfire is cured. (Proving a negative may take some while !)
I have no idea whether the 912S is any more likely to be prone to carb icing
than the 912 but the factors I mention above will certainly have and effect.
