Default carb sync after jet change

I put a dyno jet kit and K&N filter on my otherwise stock cbr900, and sync'd the carbs. Then someone offered to sell me a micron exhaust, which I installed, and then changed the main jets from 118 to 122. My question is do you guys think it's necessary to sync the carbs again? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I took your advice Tahoe- they were all still in spec, but now they're right on the money again. I'm glad I checked them though, because if I didn'tit would have bothered me!

There were on the money after I sync'd them before, but then I changed the exhaust system and main jets. I checked them again last night, and they had changed slightly, but were still within 1 in/hg of each other, which is the factory spec. Now I have them all exactly the same again. Too much snow and ice for a test ride though!!!

You shouldn't have too sync the carbs after changing the jets.

true that you shouldnt, but I see it as it never hurts to check such things and ensure that they're synchronized properly.
