Is there an easy way to tell how your carbs are jetted? I just picked up a 1993 Katana 600 as my first bike. The previous owner put on K&N filters and a Vance & Hines SSR2 exhaust. I would like to take off the K&N and replace it with a stock airbox and air filter. However I'm not sure if the carbs are jetted to compensate for the exhaust/intake? If so will the stock filter/intake box cause an issue? I don't really want to get into jetting carbs just yet since the bike is currently running.

EDIT: K&N filters and a full exhaust, that bad boy definitely SHOULD be jetted.90% of motorcycle forum members do not have a service manual for their bike.

Here is an idea of what the p.o. of my bike did. Yoshi exhaust. Uni filter.
Main fuel jets, 2 were 105's and 2 were 102's. Why in the world would you make the bike leaner than it already is after doing the changes? Go talk to the P.O.
