but switched to XS pods which are a lot larger.
You are getting a lot more air so now you need more fuel. Sounds like you need bigger main jets or maybe try raising your needles. I would install an aftermarket needle/jet kit.

Had Emgo pod filters on my kz550 and the bike ran great, but switched to XS pods which are a lot larger. Now the bike is bogging down off throttle. It starts and idles ok but when giving it throttle is just bogs and stalls. Have the mix screws at 1.5 turns out.
Could re-adjust side-located mix screws to 1.25 turns out from lightly seated, and test run for effect. Repeat at 1 turn out from lightly seated.
If fitted with pilot mixture screws, go the opposite way, first 1.75, then 2.
If the pods require oil, would assure there're not over-oiled or under-oiled.
Good Luck!
