Hawk bogs down at high range

So I got caught in a rainstorm on the way home the other day on the Hawk. The closer I got to home it seems like the bike was bogging down and backfiring a good bit. Tried to drain the carb and check the air box and pod filter and make sure that I got all the water out of the bike. I took it for a ride today and it still seems to be having issues. At the higher range of every gear the bike bogs down, particularly right around 5500 rpm’s. There’s a lot of backfiring on deceleration two. Any other recommendations on how to get back to normal?
