no change after changing plugs and cleaning battery connections...i ran it and looked inside fuel tank and see fuel returning up near the top..fuel flange problem possibley?..

I have the same year bike. Had close to the same miles. Had the exact same problem. The fix was:

Fuel Flange.

Fuel Flange.

Fuel Flange.



They did not have one to swap for me but was able to fix it with a clamp inside to stop the leak.
 
The fuel flange leak is from a line coming from the fuel pump, which is inside the tank. If the flange is leaking, it will be under 55-60 lbs of pressure, and you'll see a mist spraying inside the tank once it gets UNDER half full, the line is submerged above half tank. There's a return line at the top, I think that's what you're seeing.
