My bike got knocked over, and since then i have noticed that if i leave it sitting at random times that it will just start to spit gas out of my carborators every few minutes. Its made some huge puddles in my garage. I did get the carbs syncronized but is there anything i can do before i throw down the money to get it taken apart to adjust the valves? I need to do it anyway but i had hoped to pro long it at least a few more weeks.

Welcome to KF. Were the floats adjusted prior to the synchronization?? Sounds like you have a stuck float and seat. Get that checked out quickly because raw fuel hydrolocking a piston would not be pretty as well as washing the cylinder walls. Good luck

+1 , it does sound like a stuck float. I would try tapping the carbs with a screw driver and hammer. Soft tapping, dont beat it to death, to see if this unsticks the float.
