At around 1/2 throttle and beyond its spongy - so thinking of trying a 172 main. The carburetor rebuild kit I bought had a 165 Main - and the when I got the bike it had a 165 Main in it. I don't want to put it in and take a risk of locking it up.
When on the trails I barely hit 1/2 throttle.

I would suggest you lower the needle/raise the clip before swapping out the main if you are concerned about seizing due to lean mixture. As I understand it, the main is only really involved once the needle gets out of the way, or at about 3/4 throttle. Plus, it's much easier to change the needle (in my opinion, and on a gasser not a Christini) than the main jet.
