Exhaust back pop

Hi skuney, welcome.
There's no doubt bryan0994 knows his stuff but if your just changing mufflers there is no need to do any other modification. A bit of deceleration pop on occasion is natural. Ride the bike for a bit and give the ECM a chance to compensate before you throw money at a tuner. I'm not anti-tuner I'm just saying a pair of slip on muffs in no way changes the incoming AFR so do want to spend $$$ to get rid of the occasional harmless decel pop?

True. The ECM needs time and miles, maybe a couple hours of varied running conditions, to alter the fuel maps (long term fuel trims).
What everyone else said....I put on some Street Cannons from HD and had the popping. At the request of a friend who thought that was not normal (He doesn't ride a Harley, but something else, lol) I took the bike to the dealer and they said its normal for it to pop on decel, especially if all your did was change the exhaust...plus I think it sounds kinda cool....enjoy.
There's a lot of hand wringing about decal pop. I could hear muffled pops with stock mufflers, or go to any road track and you hear a lot of exhaust pops going into a turn from well tuned cars and bikes.
