One other thing, the bike backfires some when I let off the throttle now. What could that be from?
On my 750, that only occurs when the pilot circuit is too lean (YMMV). You can rich it up some with the mixture screws, or by going up in pilot jet size.

...still have a leaking problem from the overflow tubes, and the float levels are correct....
Am hoping fuel levels inside float bowls were verified correct by using the clear plastic tube test method before the overflow issue arose.
The clear plastic tube test isn't accurate under overflow conditions.
If not already done, would first correct whatever's causing the overflow, and thereafter perform the clear plastic tube test to assure service fuel levels are within specs.
Good Luck!

Now I still have a leaking problem from the overflow tubes, and the float levels are correct.
Then it must be that the float valves are not sealing well, if the fuel levels were actually correct. Take the float needles out and see if the tips are funky or rough.
