^This!

Sounds like you have done the right things, so I would hold off doing too much until you have a new battery installed. Plan to charge it before you put it in also.

The Seafoam shouldn't cause any problems.

As far as the pipe temps go, I'd just check them in the garage with the engine running at idle and then maybe about 4000 to see if there's a significant difference. No way to read it while you are riding.

Sometimes adding an inline fuel filter creates a low spot that stops fuel flow to the carbs from the petcock, so that's also a possibility.
