Be careful with opening-up the governor, as one of its purposes is to protect the engine from over-revving. Of course there's some leeway so that the manufacturer doesn't have to worry about blown engines. Check it against specs with a tach; you may need to look at gearing change to get the speeds you're looking for. Or, just go with the devil-may-care attitude and crank on the governor. What could go wrong?I gained 4 mph with the bigger tires but only 18mph top end. Not happy with it …so need to figure that out.
