I sprayed my exhaust with soapy water where the exhaust bolts to the motor and i'm getting bubbles, would a small exhaust leak cause bad decel popping? I'm not a mechanic by no means but would rather take a shot at saving some money by trying myself,

 

It could be. Decel popping is usually too much air in the exhaust causing it to get hot and ignite the extra unused gas on decel. If you aren't getting good flow through the exhaust it could be getting too hot.

 

Could that bubbing be from spraying water on a hot motor?
Also check for intake leaks.
Not a whole lot more to offer since you told us absolutely nothing about your bike, mods, recent work, etc.

 

I waited a couple hours and let the bike cool before I sprayed it, it's a 2012 street bob with 7500 miles, the only mods were done before purchase (5500 miles)which is Vance and Hines exhaust and screaming eagle heavy breather intake, I should have mentioned this in the post but I was in a rush, sorry bout dat.

 

You probably just need to have the bike tuned so that more fuel is going to the combustion chamber to make up for the higher flow of air.

 

You can't check an exhaust leak with the motor not running. (Same with the intake.)
With the motor warmed up the seals will expand and seal better than when cold. Use a source of smoke, like a cigar or stick of incense and get it around the area of the exhaust flange. If there's a leak the smoke will show it.
For the intake, the motor is warmed and idling. Get a can of throttle body or mass airflow cleaner and spray around the intake port on each head. A leak will cause the idle to change noticeably. Be careful not to get any into the air intake, you'll get a false positive.
If there are no leaks, the tune would be the most likely culprit.

 

Just curious on how to find a leak with smoke when the motor is NOT running, to check an intake leak you would obviously have to have the motor running to listen for idle change, is that not correct?

 

For exhaust leaks let the engine idle, put a rag on your hand(s) and block the exhaust outlet(s). Any leaks will make a hissing sound.

 

I don't know of a way to check for exhaust leaks cold. Even if you could it might give a false positive. The metal needs to heat up and expand into the seals.

 

Is bike stock? What exhaust system is on bike? What tuner? To check leaks, just take a small (1"X2") slip of newspaper held by needle nose pliers and put it close to joints. People are alway referring to exhaust leaks causing this but I really doubt it if you have a crossover still in system.
