Good advice Rubb,
I can tell you from experience. If you got bad gas, backflushing is only a temporary fix. I did it four times on my bike before I broke down and bought a new filter. At best I got about 80 percent performance for around 200 miles and then right back to where it was. This was along with multiple tanks of Seafoam or techron. Did the same for my buddies Busa and he only got 300 miles before his crapped out again. Although the filter is large the actual filter medium is pretty small and is prone to clogging up.

A backflush is a good diagnostic and will let you know it's a filter but won't last long.
