Cam tensioner gone? I can't imagine it would be that drastic but it's a thought.

Check for loose exhaust fittings. Does this happen on deceleration only? It my be pulling air into the exhaust system causing backfire. Any recent mods ie new exhaust?

How many miles? Have you changed anything on the bike just prior? How old is the fuel in the tank? With enough details should be able to narrow this down.
