What’s so special about MAXI-BORE carbs?
The MAXI-BORE process was developed on a FLOW BENCH! After weeks and weeks of flow testing this design was created. A work of art that combines extreme airflow improvement with vastly improved fuel atomization, and stronger jet signals. You see, liquid fuel can not burn, only vaporized fuel can burn. MAXI-BORE carbs are more fuel efficient than your OEM carbs. You get more power and usually better fuel economy. You get more fuel in your engine, and more of that fuel is burned, making more power.
Stock 26mm carbs flow 70cfm (cubic feet per minute) at 10” H20 vacuum.
30.5mm MAXI-BORE carbs flow 105cfm.
29mm Smoothbores only flow 98cfm.
So, the total flow increase in your four carbs is a whopping 140cfm!!! That’s like adding 2 more 26mm carbs!
Think you understand airflow? Here are some questions that might let you know where you stand on airflow.
Q1: If 26mm Mikuni carbs flow 70cfm @ 10” H2O, which alternative gives you the most HP/$ spent:
A) 29mm Smoothbores that flow 98cfm, keeping engine stock & 26mm carb boots.
B) Port your cylinder heads, keeping stock OEM 26mm carbs.
C) Port your cylinder heads after installing oversized valves, keeping stock OEM 26mm carbs.
D) Install high lift long duration cams in your stock engine, keeping engine stock & 26mm carbs.
E) Install big bore kit, keeping all else stock.
F) Bore your 26mm carbs, leaving all else stock.
Ans: F) Bore your 26mm carbs, leaving all else stock. Why? Your engine is an energy conversion device; it converts thermal energy (burned fuel) into mechanical energy (torque X rpm = HP). If you don’t increase the air/fuel (A/F) burned, it can NOT produce more power output.
A) 29mm Smoothbores, used, have recently sold for over $800 on eBay. They may flow 98cfm, but NOT with 26mm OEM carb boots. They may flow 75cfm. So, you’re paying about $160/cfm improvement.
B) Your stock head flows about 68cfm. Ported, about 79.9. Cost: $631.45 ($320 port + $311.45 valve job/guides/seals plus cost of gaskets & labor). $53.06/cfm for head work alone.
C) Your stock head flows about 68cfm. Ported with over sized valves, about 86.7cfm. Cost: $1032.00 ($640 port + $192 O.S. valves + $200.00 to open seats up) plus the cost of gaskets & labor. $55.19/cfm for head work alone.
D) This is a trick question. Cams can NOT increase air flow at all rpms. Long duration cams simply lose low end torque (due to A/F reversion) and may add some top end torque (if lighter retainers and stronger springs are also installed). High lift cams sound good, but on a stock head generally do NOT increase airflow, because any valve lift over .375” does NOTHING to increase air flow. In fact, the intake valve can be removed from the head and a stock port will flow no more than when the valve is opened .375”. So, either way you look at it, big, long duration cams may do no good in terms of making more HP. Big lift may do nothing but cost more for springs and retainers. Big duration my lose low end, to add a little bit on top end. Because there are only 720 degrees available in a 4 cycle engine, adding more intake duration will only increase intake reversion (aka fuel stand off), and increased exhaust duration can only reduce the power stroke, reducing your engine’s thermodynamic efficiency. No matter how you slice it, traditional high lift, long duration cams are of little help in the real world, because they offer almost no overall air flow increase. (Hint: there are more modern types of camshafts that I am NOT discussing here.)
E) This is a trick question. Big pistons can NOT increase air flow. Big pistons can increase low end torque (due to increased bore area), BUT CAN NOT improve top end power (because the intake tract will run out of air fuel at a lower rpm with a bigger engine, thereby reducing top end power). But, there is NO air flow increase because of a big bore kit.
F) MAXI-BOREtm carbs flow 105cfm & 26mm boots air flowed also. 35cfm/carb flow increase means your paying only $14.28/cfm.
When I built my little D Modified drag race GS750 Suzuki back in 1977, I did it one step at a time to see what really made a difference. First, I put in a 850cc high compression piston kit. No change. I then added Yosh road race cams, valve springs & aluminum retainers. A very small improvement. Installed a UFO (Universal Four into One). I lost low end, to gain very little on top end. Installed bigger carbs. Yes. More power was on tap. From there, I ported the head and bored the carbs to become competitive. The magazines just want to sell you something so that their advertisers will buy bigger ads. Magazine celebrities don’t know anything about engines, math, science, chemistry, or any other science, they know only word games.
Q2: If your stock engine head intake flows 68cfm, and your stock 26mm carbs flow 70cfm, with no air cleaners, what amount of air/fuel flows through both when connected together with the OEM 26mm boot?
A) 68cfm.
B) 70cfm
C) 138cfm
D) 35cfm
E) 34cfm
Answer: E) 34.49cfm This is the comparative air fuel each cylinder can burn. Comparative because the intake valve is always either opening or closing, reducing real air flow through the system, so let’s keep it simple and just look at the components to air flow.
Q3: If your stock engine head intake flows 68cfm, and your stock 26mm carbs flow 70cfm, with no air cleaners, what amount of air/fuel flows through both, when you install MAXI-BOREtm carbs together with the MAXI-BOREtm flowed 26mm boot, what air flow comparison should you see?
A) 68cfm.
B) 70cfm
C) 41cfm
D) 35cfm
E) 34cfm
Answer: C) 41.27cfm This is the comparative air fuel each cylinder can burn with MAXI=BOREtm carbs.
Q4: If your ported head intake flows 79.9cfm, and your stock 26mm carbs flow 70cfm, with no air cleaners, what amount of air/fuel flows through both, when you install MAXI-BOREtm carbs together with the MAXI-BOREtm flowed 26mm boot, what air flow comparison should you see?
A) 68cfm.
B) 45cfm
C) 41cfm
D) 35cfm
E) 34cfm
Answer: B) 45.37cfm This is the comparative air fuel each cylinder can burn with MAXI=BOREtm carbs.
Q5: If your ported head, with over sized intake valves, flows 86.4cfm, and your stock 26mm carbs flow 70cfm, with no air cleaners, what amount of air/fuel flows through both, when you install MAXI-BOREtm carbs together with the MAXI-BOREtm flowed 26mm boot, what air flow comparison should you see?
A) 47cfm.
B) 45cfm
C) 41cfm
D) 35cfm
E) 34cfm
Answer: A) 47.40cfm This is the comparative air fuel each cylinder can burn with MAXI=BOREtm carbs.
Q6: Now, let’s work this backward for comparison. If your ported head, with over sized intake valves, flows 86.4cfm, and your stock 26mm carbs flow 70cfm, with no air cleaners, what amount of air/fuel flows through both, (no MAXI-BOREtm carbs nor flowed 26mm boots), what air flow comparison should you see?
A) 47cfm.
B) 45cfm
C) 41cfm
D) 35cfm
E) 38cfm
Answer: E) 38.73cfm You would gain 22% more air/fuel by having your 26mm carbs and boots MAXI-BOREDtm.
But, it takes more than the best flowing carbs in the world to make the MAXI-BORE package! Something even Mikuni didn’t think about when they sold the 29mm Smoothbore as a slip on replacement for OEM 26mm carbs. Buyers installed their new 29s on their engines to find marginal performance improvement and often ran into jetting problems. Why? If your motorcycle came with 26mm carbs, isn’t it likely that it also has 26mm carb boots? Absolutely! What happens when you install 29mm Smoothbores on 26mm boots? The limit to top end air flow is still the 26mm boots. Those boots block 20% of the available air/fuel provided by the Smoothbores. The top end limited airflow created by the 26mm boots distorts the fuel delivery curve, making the Smoothbores extremely difficult to jet, the last 20% of the throttle opening does little to increase airflow or power.
So, Mikuni got it wrong!!
Mikuni made another mistake with their 29mm smoothbores. Remember the smoothbore insert that supposedly allowed more air to flow through the carb, than the OEM 26mm carbs. Well, it turns out that the insert actually killed low speed jet signals, reducing low and mid range performance. Some people would call it a flat spot. In our drag strip tests we found that an OEM 28mm carb (Z-1 or Z-1R) actually outperformed the 29s at the drag strip. The 29s flowed more wide open, but the 28s has better low and mid range mixture control, power, and that is what wins races.
The MAXI-BORE difference is the complete package:
1) Your 26mm or 28mm Mikuni OEM carbs (Z-1, KZ900, KZ1000, Z-1R, Z-2, GS750, GS850, GS1000) are disassembled,
2) multi angle, multi-process boring operation is performed on all 4 carb bodies,
3) fuel and mixture passages are drilled to allow greater flow,
4) critical bored surfaces are hand machined and sanded for maximum fuel jet signals,
5) passages and ports are flushed and checked for flow,
6) pilot jets are cleaned and checked.
7) Bad gaskets are replaced.
8) Extensive machining is done to allow maximum air flow & improved jet signals (improved performance).
9) Your carb boots are hand air flow ported to match your new 30.5mm MAXI-BORE carbs.
10) Throttle linkage is extensively modified to allow the slides to open farther, for your new wide open throttle position.
11) Your carbs are cleaned, tested, assembled, adjusted, and synchronized.
12) Your carbs are pre-jetted, according to the information that you supply (exhaust & intake mods, cams, piston size).
13) Your carbs are then shipped to you. Your carbs, not someone else’s carbs. Not eBay carbs. Your carbs.
Getting your carbs Maxi-Bored is easy. Remove your carbs, drain fuel, remove rubber carb boots, slip boot over carb spigots, bag carb/boots, double box, INSURE shipment, ship to: M. Campbell POB 8857 Alta Loma, CA 91701. I can return ship COD, or bill your PayPal account for Maxi-Bore process, necessary replacement parts, shipping and insurance to your door.
NOTE:
We can also bore 29mm Smoothbores to 31mm & sharpen jet signals for increased low & mid range.
We can also bore 33mm Smoothbores to 38.5mm & sharpen jet signals for increased low & mid range. These carbs have such good jet signals that they will even work on stock 750cc engines.
Ask about our amazing "5th Fuel Circuit" option, allows extra fuel for an even more powerful top end pull. Can be installed on any of the carbs listed above.

Hey Monty, you were right I was way lean! I bought 117.5 main jets and the difference was amazing! It could maybe go up one or two more to get it perfect but it is very close and between the number 9 plugs and the new jets I am astonished! Thank you for your time!My Dads plating shop is called S.J. Valley Plating and they have a web site sjvalleyplating.com You could call my dad and tell him you lined me out and he will be happy to help you. [phone removed by eBay], his name is Fred. Thank you soooooo much!!! Jason
Monty; Enjoying the new system. The X-PipeTM was installed on my 76 KZ900 for the Barbers Museum vintage festival. It sounded great and looked really good with the Jet Hot sterling coating. It got a lot of attention. I thought it would be way too loud when I saw the size of the canisters but have been surprised by the pleasant sound throughout the rpm range. I would like to get another set of canisters. How much do you sell the MX3 canisters for? Thank You Corry P.S. I will send a few pic's in a couple weeks when I get back from Japan
Hi Monty - Believe it or not, I kept your message until I (finally!) got around to painting my Yamaha XS650 street tracker. Here are some pix: I was going for more of an old TT look than a dirt tracker - so your pipes look just about perfect. Bike runs great! Clayton Englar
Hey, my name is Jay, owner of Lossa Engineering, I used your pipe on my CB750 on the Cafe Racer TV show. I got the message you were inquiring to the production company about helping out. They are coming back to my shop to film some for season 2. I put the episode up on You tube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmF9hFMw-DM I loved the pipe, how can I get hooked up to offer your pipe to my customers? I have been selling tons of parts since the show aired. Jay @ Lossa Engineering Custom Cafe Bikes/ Vintage restoration
It’s quick! It’s really dialed in! It’s really responsive! That bike’s really fast! It’s really smooth. You can do a lot with those old bikes. He gets them to perform better than they would have stock. Really fun!

Hi Monty, I have a MX-3 Pipe that I've had on my CBX for a few years now...I'd like to say I really like it and has been preferred for my personal bike. Thank you Jason Thompson
I have your X-pipeTM on my 82 KZ1100, and am very pleased with the results, and so am now considering the x-pipe for my FJ1100. Bert
Campbell X-pipeTM google it will never go for a 4-1 system again. Thanks Larry Kwiatkowski.
Good afternoon Monty I got to give it to you When I was going to order the X-pipeTM I had my doubts about the fitting like any other mail orders I put on the pipes today it fits like a glove nice job Next few days I will get to hear them I am sure it will blow me away Thanks again Del
How's it going? I currently have one of your X-pipeTM on my SOHC CB750 Honda and absolutely love it. Thanks! - backdoorboogaloo
One fellow on a budget emailed me stating, "Points is points." He went on to say that he buys his points at the junk yard, used, for $17.00 each. We know that he has a lot of time on his hands, but is he saving any money? Let's assume that the used junk yard points are new and will last about 2,000 miles. Let's also assume that he can also get condensers at the same price and they are good as new. If a dealer tune up costs $80.00, then it costs about $148.00 and a week end at the shop, every 2,000 miles, to keep our friend's motorcycle engine running. Now, assume that the Maxi-Dwell II ignition will last 100,000 miles and our friend can tune it up himself, in 3 minutes. The Maxi-Dwell II will save about 50 weekends at the dealership waiting for a tune up and about $7,400 in tune up bills and junk yard points & condensers. One Maxi-Dwell II could be the last ignition system your motorcycle will ever need. This could be a very good thing for you because a lot of dealers will not work on the "older" bikes. Here, in California, several dealers have told me that they will not even order parts for any motorcycle over 10 years old.
