Default Popping on deceleration?

I finally was able to take the new SB out for a ride Saturday. It rode real well, except for a lot of "popping" in the exhaust when letting off the throttle.

When I picked up the bike at the dealer, the mechanic said I might get popping since the gas has stabilizer in it, and that after a couple of fill-ups this wold go away.

Is this accurate? Or does the popping point to a problem I should deal with?

As I said, the acceleration was good and smooth, good power at all speeds and gears. The bike has V&N BigRadius pipes and a Stage 1 SE air cleaner upgrade, and they told me is was appropriately re-programmed.

If it don't go away after a few fill ups, then they should remap it.

Yeah, my dealer is going to dyno mine for any remapping at my 1000 service, which was included in the purchase.
