I noticed the same thing in my 85 900T with the open filter. So, I put and outside air temp gauge in the filter and went for a drive. The intake air stayed pretty much the same as the outside temp until I juiced it up to 100mph. After I slowed back down to speed, the temp sky-rocketed and took a long time to cool down. Because of this, if I tried to accelerate hard after that, the car was sluggish because it was sucking pure hot air.
I don't know if the 9000 is the same as the 900, but you can cut a hole in the inner fender, and place the filter behind the headlight in the 900. Air temp there is constantly lower than the old location, and barely even rises under load.
