I haven't driven this utv all that much, but I've noticed that it's a bit hesitant when I give it some gas. This lead me to think that I may need to clean the throttle bodies and while I'm at it, I might as well check them if they're synced. Cn anyone guide me throught he process?

here's how I usually do it:
to clean, you need to unplug the air tubes and any wires/hoses. then Spray & Wipe using throttle body cleaner inside, and put everything back. good luck!
 
I've cleaned my throttle bodies before on a UTV, and it helped, after removing the intake hoses and spraying with throttle body cleaner, I synced the bodies by adjusting the screws until both were responsive at idle. It took a bit of trial and error but once done the throttle was much smoother. If you're new to it, just take your time and don't rush
 
Throttle hesitation often means dirty or out of sync throttle bodies. Take off the airbox, clean the barrels with throttle body cleaner avoid sensors at all cost, then use vacuum gauges to sync them at idle, adjust the sync screws until vacuum levels match
