Check intake for leaks, do a compression test to see if intake valves are leaking

RE: backfire in intake
I checked for a air leak around the intake but I will do a leakdown test on it, this bike has 15000 mile on it ,I can"t understand why there is 10 degrees different in timing \\; between cylinders,.

It's common to see AFR and timing to jump all over the place at idle due to the MAP pulses. The timing and AFR \\; should mellow out off idle though.

RE: backfire in intake
today I unpluged the MAP sensor and the bike ran good, as soon as iI plug it back in it starts backfiring again. I have another MAP that I put in the throttle body and put the wires on the other one and let it hang ang it runs good and the light dont stay on ,what do I do next.

I would check the IAC steps now but you need a digital tech or a SERT in data mode to see what the steps are.
