Default pops while cruising, smells rich?

I have a 2001 nightrain, I have been experiencing popping sounds while cruising, roughly 60 mph, but it does it at other speeds too. At first thought it might be electrical til last night. I filled my gas tank up and the problem seemed to fix it self. Does anyone know where I might start. was thinking poss. the oring on the gas cap, or somehow air is getting in there. anyhow thanks for your help im new to the forum, and hopefully can help on other symptoms.

I thought about moving this to one of the tech sections, but figured I'd ask a question first. Is the bike carbed or F.I.?
