Default Back firing

Bike is back firing a little bit, nothing major but when i'm slowing down at idle speed I can hear it back firing.... What could this be? I changed the plugs a month ago and it was running fine.. Also, I put good gas in it too.... Any ideas??? Thanks!!!!

had same problem with my bike, if the bike is carburated and you had exhaust work done try changing the jet to a larger one, thats what fixed my issue

Has it got racing tuner? Stage one? Put in on the Dyno.

I been trying to get a little backfire&nbsp\\; action out of my RK for months now.&nbsp\\; She blubbles but still no real backfire.&nbsp\\; I want the big bang with some flames.
