What I do miss is the crackling and popping during deceleration. It's almost completely gone. I did have one really loud "pop" last night which was odd.

Does that pop sound like a car backfiring? If so, my bike used to do that as I was coming to a stop at lights every once in a while. I believe I was relying on engine breaking a bit too much, because once I started to pull in the clutch and hit the break earlier it hasn't happened.
