Stuck float or worn/dirty float needle and/or seat. Try tapping on the bowl with a screwdriver and see if that frees the float and stops the overflow. If not, you'll have to open her up.
had the same problem last week,dont know if its the right thing to do but i removed the carb and checked the float operation and all..seemed ok so i bent the float down a little bit,,bike runs normal..any one else know if that is ok to do?

On a bike this late model, probably not the right thing to do. The problem usually stems from dirt getting caught between the needle valve and the seat. Sometimes, the needle can already be worn and need replacement, but not likely on this late model of a bike. A good carb cleaning should fix it. If you ARE going to bend the float (assuming it ran right to begin with) get the owners or shop manuel and at least measure it. If you just guess at a float level and bend it because it suddenly started leaking fuel out of overflow tubes, you still haven't fixed the problem and risk melting a piston. Good luck.
