Is it several little pops or is a big loud bang?

What kind of bike?
Aftermarket items? Pipes, air kit, etc

Popping on decel is normal, and is usually amplified with aftermarket pipes. Backfiring and the popping on decel is unused fuel being ignited in your pipes. It is a symptom of too rich mixture. Depending on the cause it can be normal or something to look in to.
