Answer
Hi Miguel.

There are a few possibilities and here they are;

1) The floats are sticking open and flooding the carbs.

2) The float seals are bad and leaking, even though the floats are still working right.

3) Seals, other than the floats, in the carbs are leaking and need replacement.

4) The carbs are dirty and need cleaning.

5) Two or more of the above problems.

Get the repair manual to reference the specs.

Let me know what you find.

Good luck and ride safe.
