Never has on mine.Is it true that letting the throttle "snap" back on it's own throws the carbs out of sync?

Do what George said, and here is something I do:after i rebuilt the carbs and adjusted my cables and put them back on my throttle doesnt snap back? it goes back all the way just slow. anyone know wats up?? need help my bike is an 81 kz550c
Take the cables completely off and hold them up and let them hang (I stand on a chair so they hang stright down). Then I hose into the cable center from the top with a good spray lube and keep working the cable center up and down. Spray more, work the cable. Eventually you flush all the gummy oil down and out and they will be running smooth again.
I use a teflon lube called Tri-flow but you can use any good spray oil. Just don't use WD-40 because that will oxidize and gunk up again.

If the carbs were snapping back before the rebuild, the now existing drag is probably not due to lack of internal cable lube, but likely due to faulty carb reassembly or installation.
Are the throttle cables binding or pinched (maybe under the fuel tank).?
Good Luck!
