Engine Brake

Howdy guys, finally got a good run on the ole girl tonight to work.
Notice a few things and need some advice...
6th gear at 100kmh seems like it is reving its box off, mind you only about 6000rpm on the tach.
I think the exhaust is very loud if this is the case, and ear plugs may be required lmao!!
But... when I release the throttle at 100kmh, should it coast ? as it feels like it winds down under engine break.
To me it is searching for another gear at 100kmh, is this a matter of installing a smaller rear sprocket ?
Someone at work said the front sprocket has a spring ? and it allows a bike to coast .... I am totally new at this and need some advice please
They told me the front sprocket might need replacing.... I truly have no idea haha..
Cheers for your help lads and ladettes.
