Backfire when throttle down can be;
1. dirty carbs that are running lean and need cleaning. Also the rubber grommets that hold the carbs can be leaking at the backside or even dry rotted.
2. no air filter
3. broken or open vacuum lines
4. an aftermarket exhaust that needs rejetting or an open exhaust system

Yes, it could (and probably is) be an air leak. Check to be sure the carb is tight in the intake manifold, and make sure the hot-start isn't loose and is sealing properly. Also make sure all of the exhaust system joints are tight, an air leak in the exhaust will make a four-stroke pop and backfire like an old work truck with no muffler...

Backfiring engine on slowdown from medium speed.

Two things cause this problem, ONE: Your timing could be out a little and the bike needs a good tune, or TWO: your exhaust is cactus.

Backfires

had a similiar prob with a triumph. It backfired at low revs, a delay between throttle opening and revs increasing and bike felt like it wanted to stall at low speeed. Got the Carbs cleaned to find out the problem was infact Failing Ignition coil. Get those checked first before commiting to replacing other parts.
