Tha auto decompressor can be adjusted incorrectly and it acts upon one of the valves. Do the valve clearances exactly as per the manual, especially with reference to the decompressor adjustment.
Also check the exhaust for leaks as these make the bike pop and bang when decellerating. I'm assuming its all standard exhaust, airbox and airfilter, as any of these being changed will need the main jet altering to make it run properly at higher revs.

1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!
