would there be any problems if im running racing fuel in a motorbike and decide to switch to pump gas?

If the bike is mapped to use race gas then running pump gas will definitely be a problem as it will lead to knock.

might have some seals problems.. the old seals may leak due to the difference in pressure

ok if the bike is not tuned to run race gas but it has been running on it for a while can i safely switch over to pump gas?

no. you must tune the engine, esp if is an old engine. no short term damage but u risk overheating/engine lock up.
