Semi-fould spark plugs will cause a back fire.
Install new spark plugs.
Dirty carbs will foul spark plugs.
Untreated gas goes bad.
Drain the gas tank and put in fresh gas.
Every time you attempt to start the bike, the bad gas clogs the carburetors again.
After changing the gas, bring the carbs to a shop and have them professionally cleaned.
Cleaning at home will not clean all of the passageways in the carb.
The mixture screws are plugged from the factory to prevent tampering by owners.
The mixture screws must be removed to adequately clean the carbs.
The pilot jet openings are as thin as a pin head and are easily clogged with bad gas.
The throttle slide diaphragms get worn out over time and don't seal properly.
Carb cleaning is not a job for beginners.
There are many factors to take into account to get the job done properly.

Is the battery fully charged? How long ago were the carbs cleaned? Did you take out and clean and inspect the enrichning system? The carbs sound like where the problem is coming from, but without more details and punctuation marks, and proper spelling it is difficult to follow what you have done and what you mean.
well if it has 2 carbs then are they secranized cause if you just cleaned them and put back the secranization could be off. but if one carb then maybe the jetting is off i ran in to a problem like that with my banshee it backfired threw the right carb and i had to secranize it and re jet it and it sat for three years so cleaned them and re secranized them with new jets and never had the prob again
