Default Backfiring on decelleration problem




I have a&nbsp\\;2002&nbsp\\;electraglide classic with fuel injection- ever since having the cam tensioners replaced by the dealership in Reno while on a trip I immediately started having a problem with the bike backfiring on deceleration and it occasionally pops through the air throttle body.&nbsp\\;This never happened before having the cam tensioners replaced.The local harley dealer&nbsp\\;is having a problem coming up with the cause.&nbsp\\;They've replaced the pipes, tested for exhaust leaks, checked electrical components, done a valve leak down test and a fuel pressure test as well as all the computer diagnostic analysis.&nbsp\\;With all coming up having no problems.&nbsp\\;Dealership has done all they can do without starting to replace costly parts without a direction as to whats causing the problem....any ideas??
