    I'm getting bac fire when I get out of the throttle

     I have a 2004  Sporster 1200 Roadster.  I recently installed Vance and Hines slip on mufflers and a K&N air cleaner.  Sounds awesome and has improved acceleration.  I am getting some back fire when I get off the throttle (decellerate).  I took the ham can off the air intake to see if more air would help, it did not seem to make a differance.   I am sure this is probably a common thing.  Anybody dealing with have the answer??  Thanks

    Reel,

     It's not 'loading' up, it's running too lean.........................try the next size bigger mid jet.

    How are your plugs burning (whitish? Tan? Blackish?)?  they will tell you if you need to go up one more or not 

    When workin' on your ride the first tool out of the box should be the manual
