Default 2007 duce lost of power in 6th gear

Today my friend was riding his 2007 Duce, at 70 mile per hour in 6th gear speed decreases additional power applied causes bike to feel like it is flooding which requires downshifting to 5th gear which causes the bike to backfire. Continuing downshifting causes the bike to backfire in each gear, any idea what may be causing this problem?
