    TOok the time this weekend as it was pouring rain here most of Fri and all of Sat to take down my carbs and really go throught them. Cleaned all the passages, polished up the slides, and throats, made everything glem, and shine better than new. I spent alot of time with my dremel and a polishing attachment, I know a little in excess but I wanted to see just how much I could get out of them. I put them back together, new gaskets and such. Finally got my sync tool in, and sync them all together, checked the fuel mixture and tuned, tuned, tuned. Not bragging but I must say those carbs are awesome. The bike ran really well before teardown, now, wow it really runs and you have to get down on the tank to keeo the front tire touching the ground thru the first 4 gears, decel is awesome, ha who needs brakes. I want to thank everyone for the posting of different things that I had missed in the past, you all have truly helped me to understand the things that I had been missing to really make this bike run, thanks again, and look forward to many more post with you all.

    Yep ... you clean them up -- perfect. You get them back on the bike and dial them in to absolute perfection. And, away you go!

    I had all I could do to keep the grin off my face, the other day ... when I took my Max for a 350 mile ride around the White Mountains of New Hampshire.

    With everything synced and set ... right on the money; and the slide bores all polished-up for performance ... the max is a Road Warrior.

    The 750 loves being snapped open for some exhilarating "git-up" ... and with the bores cleaned-up to allow the slides to bang shut ... close the throttle and you slow-down like you just deployed a drogue chute!
