Depends on a few things, but if its a dramatic drop in temperature and you were pretty close to begin with you risk frying your piston(s). Most rec riders just run a little rich so when it gets chilly they are still good to go. But yes, you SHOULD rejet.

If you are jetted perfectly for summer, going one size larger in winter is about right.
