Default I-4 Carbs

I'm already thinking about my next bike. I'm thinking inline 4. Maybe a Bandit 600. I have a question though.
How often does one need to do maintenance such as balancing the carburator output.
Perhaps a stupid question but it seems to me that you have 4 different power plants that need to be synchronized so that some running rich and some lean.
So is that difficult? and how often does it need to be checked/adjusted?

I want to know what I'm getting into before I make that step.
