I have a 2004 model GSX1400. I have done thousands of miles on it fault free but now on heavy engine braking, I get a single backfire from the right-hand exhaust. Any thoughts on the cause? With gentle engine braking and using the brakes to slow there is no sign of a backfire. The bike runs well.
Best regards Mal.

Balanced the throttles lately?

Sounds daft but if they are staying slightly open or more shut on the right it could be triggering the right conditions for a backfire when compared to the left.
