If your max is like my 95, you probably have 152.5 = mains. Order some 155 and possibly some 157.5. I think 160s are too = much. Last night I pulled my 160s and put 155 in. My max seems to run = much better. Only way you will really see a difference will be on the = dyno.=20 Removing the carbs is fairly easy. MAin jets can be changed in under an = hour, @ 30 min if you a re good (I'm speaking from experience now... ) = Here's a quick how to.... 1. Remove tank cover 2. Remove scoops 3. Remove Airbox - or individual K&N filters 4. Remove chrome plastic covers on intake manifolds (two big round = screws each) 5. Losten top manifold clamps on base of carbs. No need to losten both - = leave rubber manifolds on intake. 6. Follow carb linkage cables to black/clear linkage box. Remove small = screws, remove linkage. 7. Remove fuel line. 8. Pull carbs up and out of rubber manifold retainers. Should come loose = fairly easy.=20 9. Carefully slide carbs out left side of frame (they come out as a = complete "brick" of carbs) 10. Drain gas by inverting carbs (technical way I use :P ) 11. Carefully turn carbs upside down on bench.=20 12. With a 10mm socket or wrench, you can losten the brass stop on the = bottom of the carb float bowls ( each carb has one) I recommend doing = one at a time. Be CAREFUL HERE... 13. After lostening and removing the 10mm stop, losten the jet with a = straight screwdriver being careful to not mar the threads. DONT LOSTEN = THE JET ALL THE WAY. Only one or two turns. 14. Take a square sided wood toothpick and push it carefully into the = jet. 15. Carefully invert the carbs again so you are looking up into the = float bowl and jet.=20 16. Use the toothpick and gravity to remove the jet. If the jet falls = off in the float bowl, you will have to remove the cover. This is a bad = thing.... Just be careful. reverse steps 14-16 to install the larger main jets. Repeat for = remaining carbs. Reinstall carbs, airbox, etc. Dyno it! :) Hope this helps... Thanks, Cory F.
