The usual way the float valves leak is the floats themselves work properly, but when the needle is pushed into its seat, there is not a good seal. It can happen from wear or from dirt.

It's possible that the float arms can get stuck, but not usually on a motorcycle that's been in running condition. Checking for free movement of the floats is always a good idea though.
