V-star 650 -- backfiring??

 ..I notice that during deceleration (in every gear), I can hear a bunch
of rumbling and loud poping noses coming from my exhaust. ..Is this
normal?  ...I ask as my previous bike was a Virago 250, and I never
heard any of this when I let up on the gas, and allowed the engine to
slow the bike down.  ..Thanks...  Jon

if you put on aftermarket pipes you might think about removing the AIS
crap - the AIS can cause this.
I did on mine and it really helped.  procedures aren't hard to find if
you look.
