The backfire is from a lean idle circuit. Could be a few things. Exhaust leak, partially pluged pilot jet, old gas, ethenol blended gas, or simply the mixture screw is a tad too lean.
You can verify this for yourself...next time before letting off the throttle, pull on the choke (which makes it way rich), and let off. The pop will be gone, if the issue is jetting. If it still pops, youve probably got an exhaust leak.

It isn't unusual for something with a CV carb that is jetted properly under most conditions to pop a little when in an extreme compression braking situation, like suddenly chopping the throttle all the way off during a full throttle blast...
If it runs well otherwise, I might check plug color... It might be slightly lean.
