Hello,
the story before hand simplified: drove 2 hours the day before without any problems, next day bike wouldn't start.
problem: found a pool of gasoline inside air box (like almost a gallon of gas), after i cleared it out bike started fine drove it around the block just to see if it would come back and about half way around bike kept bogging down/ shutting off, took it all off again and there was very little gas/ oil mixture in there and i looked in oil and gas also found its way down there as well.
searching around online it seems the most common problem for this would be the needle not working properly in the carbs. would you guys agree with this or do you have another opinion?
also, i noticed a hose coming out from the bottom of my air box and it goes down to the ground and doesn't connect to anything (not exactly sure what its purpose is) but both that hose and the hose next to it (happened to be the breather hose for the gas tank) had a cap over the end of them. i don't know what the air box hose is for but wouldn't the breather hose be useless with this cap?

P.S. first time posting so i hope its in the right area, and sorry for the long description.
