One other question. When I ride to work and I am going around 45 or 50 and need to stop at a traffic light, when I stop the bike the revs seem really high. I mean really high. I don't have a tac, but it sounds like the engine is still running does when riding at a higher speed. That's not good, right? What could be causing that?

Likely a vacuum leak or the carb is hanging up. Does the throttle grip close smoothly by itself? The cables may need lubing.

Agreed. Something is sticking....
Or
People have also complained of the carb boots (the rubber things that connect the carb to the engine) not being tight enough and letting in way too much air.
