TBS necessary before 6k service?

Quick sanity check...

Under "normal" riding conditions for a 1200RT, would you expect to need a TBS performed prior to the regular 6k service?

 

And a related question...

What usually causes the throttle bodies to go out of synch?

 

(Disclaimer: I'm not a wrencher - yet. Please be gentle if this is a stupid question.)

That's actually a part of the 6k service. Bike is cold when valve clearances are adjusted. Then the bike is warmed up and the throttle bodies are synchronized.

Stretched cable, usually, between the two throttle bottles. One is controlled and the other is "sympathetic" in that it just follows the lead of the other. Though I haven't delved into the 12 series as much.
