This has been a topic of debate for a while now.
Some would say never trailer without them, others say they have trailered for 1,000's of miles with no problems.
The danger is fuel flowing into the cylinders from the trailer vibrations. All that fuel in the cylinder or the crank case can cause mechanical damage when you try to start the sled.
The Yamaha owner's guide says something like don't trailer with the fuel level higher than the carbs.....basically a disclaimer.
Personally I don't have them and I trailer everywhere I sled.
Do a search on the RX-1 forum and you will find lots of discussion threads on this topic.
Ultimately, the decision in yours.

also nice if some peckerhead tried to steal your sled, jump on and go 50 feet. I know this, first hand knowledge.
