Ah, ye olde holy piston! Any time I've ever heard of this, it's been due to running lean. Possible reasons for lean condition: air leak, incorrect jetting, vacuum operated petcock for the fuel supply. At high RPMs, vacuum petcocks may not react quickly enough, starving the carb for gas and throwing your air/fuel ratio off. Older Urals are (in)famous for it.

(You may notice I reference Urals a lot. They require a lot of tinkering, so it's the bike I have the most mechanical experience with! )
