it could be your carbs like you said, but a few things to check. make sure your air filter is not too dirty.A dirty filter will make the bike run rich.

A low battery will also make the bike flood out. This happens when the bike doesnt turn over fast enough to start, but still dumps gas into the cylinders. Even a slightly slower turnover of the engine can have this effect. these engines need to spin relatively fast in order to start properly.

If your plugs have fouled once, its a sure bet they will again and again. these plugs are very sensitive and they never really fire right after a good fouling. I would suggest getting a new set of plugs. Make sure they are NGK R series. Champion plugs are horrible and foul out.

I would guess on dirty carbs vs needing to sync the carbs. A dirty air screw or even a sticky choke will cause these problems.
