Cleaned my K&N filter and the I am running very rich, could that mean I over "oiled" my air filter?

Bike has Akrapovic system and power commander 5...feels like I lost the "tune". I've d/l the right map and will re-tune/map, but the only other change is me cleaning and re-oiling the air filter.

should I get the valves checked (over 20k miles)?

It could definitely mean you over oiled it.

The filter should have just enough oil after cleaning to be a light shade of pink all over. If you apply oil to the upper edges of the filter medium, it leaches down into the "valleys" after a few minutes. If you overoiled the filter, clean it again and let it dry fully before reoiling.
