I moved from Tucson, Arizona to Kissimmee, Florida. Should I have my bike checked out due to altitude change? Everything runs good as far as I know. Thanks.

No need to do so, expecially if the bike is running allright.
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

There is a potential problem coming from a high elevation down to sea level.  If the bike was ever re-jetted from stock jets to smaller sized jets because it was too rich at the higher elevation.  Now coming down to sea level it will be extremely lean.  If the carbs have stock jets, then you should be OK.

dude, your in a high tourist area and the shops know it. check em yourself and save the cash, its not hard, plenty of folks on here have done it.   i live in Fort lauderdale about 3 hours south of you.  down here 150 mains, 40 pilots, 2 washers under the needle and back the screws out about 2.5 turns, this is for aftermarket exhaust and filter system. if your completely stock then its like 40 pilots,127.5 mains,and i belive 1 washer under the needle right Srinath?

or send the carbs to Srinath and for moderate fee, he jet,sync and test on his bike before sending them back.  ready to just bolt on.   ive not heard of anyone complain about his work yet. cept perhaps a fitment issue with powder coating his custom handle bars. ;)
