On my MTX I swapped the stock mav for a CE(both 162) and dint change anything clutch or gearing wise. Sled runs good and hits target rpm @ 1k-2k. In IP (7k-10k) in deep snow I was about 700rpm low, but it was Yamaha recommended clutching and no gear change. I know I know, but I wanted to see if it would pull that much weight with the additional traction.. Oh ya I forgot it dropped like 10-15mph track speed when climbing too, but even low on rpm, it still climbed MUCH better than with the mav!
