Default Bike backfiring

Was out riding yesterday, and the bike backfired. The second time it happened the bike stalled. My buddy behind me said there was flames coming out of the Rinehart's. I also have a Power Commander on the bike. Anyone have any ideas what causes this, someone was saying maybe it was as simple as spark plugs.
Lets hear from you folks.

Did you check the wires to the Power Commander?

Check your battery cables to be sure they are tight......loose no fire, excess gas, backfire

Sounds like she's getting too much gas, been alot of updates on the powercommanders lately so you might check that out. They've had to update mine twice since I bought it used off a guy that had it on his 09.
