Among KLR owners, there've been problems with certain inline filters (and also with their mounting positions), not with others. I think installing a problematic filter, then a problematic fix for the filter, then a problematic fix for the fix....is taking you down a potentially difficult path. Instead, either eliminate the inline filter or find one which works. You might investigate one of the various KLR lists (I use DSN KLR650, a yahoo group which you can easily find) or one of the KLR suppliers (I use Arrowhead Motor Sports in Moab, Utah).
I've got an inline filter and in the 50,000 Third World km since I installed it, it hasn't shown any signs of serving any purpose whatsoever. I'd remove it, but it's easier to just leave it in place. This is the end result you want to achieve on your bike.
enjoy,
Mark
