If your XII idles rough or or won't idle below 800rpm's takes off & hiccups, mileage is less than 35mpg, If it does not run smooth at 4500rpm's in neutral. exhaust burbbles and pops. exhausts manifold pipes vary in temp by 25 + degrees. It could need sync, but not a real problem with the XII. You can do more damage trying to sync them than leaving them alone, if it is running smooth now. imho.
