Many of us have said this in response to the How do I stop the backfiring? queries. Be sure your exhaust is leak-free. In my case, it has been the exhaust gaskets. I keep a couple spares of the crushable gaskets that go between the header and the cylinder head and I use a new one every time I remove the exhaust.

gasket? what gasket? i didn't see a gasket, is it black? is it chrome? is it between the head and the colorful header pipe? my bike is an 06, do i even have one? AHHHH I HATE MY EXHAUST LEAK.!!

06 S-40 ss carbbowl screws, ss valve cover bolts, turn signals lightup w/ brake light(removed for trouble shooting)
06 GS500F gstwins.com

And sometimes it stays stuck to the cylinder head inside the recess and is easy to miss if you're not looking for it. The first time I saw mine, I thought it was fine for reuse... until I saw a new one.
