Do you still have the pair valve on? If you do, remove it. If it is off, check the lines/block-off plate. I was having problems with the bike popping, so I removed the pair valve and just plugged the two lines coming from each cylinder with a bolt. Worked great until the bolt wore through the line and had an exhaust leak coming from the top of the engine. This had me scratching my head for a bit 'till I found the hole.
