Default Cold weather and decal popping???

I've noticed an increase in decel popping on my 96" since the temp has been in the low 30's. I'm assumingcold air effects the air/fuel ratio differently. Is this correct or not related?

Although its not too cold in Miami, I am getting a backfire when I start the bike for the first time in the morning.

The colder the air the more dense it is.......so theoretically the engine is a bit leaner with the cold weather.....I dont know for sure. Mine dont do it.

I have the same problem. Not a lot of popping but before it got cold I had none. Now I get some and wondered what was causing it.
