A large main jet will protect your bike from seizing up. It is cheap insurance.

Can you elaborate on this?  Genuinely curious.  I thought that a seized engine implied that the pistons are seized due to excessive heat/no oil/rust from sitting.  I just don't understand how a large main jet would help avoid that.

It really bugs me when I don't understand something.
