Uncorking the Kymco tomorrow.

letsride · 12-27-2016, 11:30 PM

I'm going to take the speed collar out of the Kymco Mongoose 90 tomorrow. Does any of the other GY6 ATV's have this collar? It limits the little quad to 15mph. And My 10 year old does not like the fact that little mans new TAO 110 is faster than hers WITH the throttle screw turned in.

So I'm going to take the collar out for her. It should do about 30 or so after that.

**JerryHawk250** · 12-28-2016, 07:28 AM

Hmmmm... I'll have to check my Coolster 150 and see if it has one. I don't think it does because it is pretty fast.

letsride · 12-28-2016, 06:33 PM

Well looks like Jr. Miss Letsride is STUCK @ 15mph

. The speed collar was just machined into the variator bushing. I can't remove it like the quad in the video. Maybe they made that an option for the later year models. Hers is a 2005 Kymco Mongoose 90. I'll look around on the interwebs and see what I can come up with.

**JerryHawk250** · 12-28-2016, 07:18 PM

Bring it to a machine shop and cut it down.

letsride · 12-28-2016, 07:22 PM

I had thought about that very thing. But I don't want to mess it up. My thought is that what if the belt rides to far up the pulley and jumps. Or is that not possible?

It shouldn't be a problem. You can put the 2 pulleys together and see how far the belt rides up the pulley. If it rides up too high just machine about half of it off. But from the picture it looks like that collar is just pressed on. Have you tried knocking it off?

letsride · 12-29-2016, 11:15 AM

Yeah I did try to knock it off there. But its there to stay. I contacted my machinist buddy and he said he will machine it down at no charge in about 5 minutes. So thats what I'm gonna do. Although her quad has to be down for a week while I'm down there on duty. She won't be happy about that. I'll bet that little Quad has more miles than my truck.

I was thinking of ordering this one and just see if it fits.

Good deal! My brother runs a machine shop so anything I need done is the same price. Free. Lol, my daughter is off from school for 2 weeks. She has been on her UTV every chance she could. One night she was riding till about 8pm. As far as ordering the part, It would be nice if they gave you some measurements to see if its a match.

**JerryHawk250** · 01-02-2017, 02:05 PM

Any updates? Inquiring minds want to know lol

Weldangrind · 12-28-2016, 08:07 PM

There are so many inexpensive GY6 parts on eBay that you could easily buy uncorked parts.

letsride · 01-11-2017, 06:26 PM

I had my machinist friend machine off the collar on the drive face bushing. He just cut it down to the O.D. of the rest of the bushing. I got the little Mongoose back together this afternoon and that little bugger will BOOGIE now. I have one happy little girl now. She came back with a huge smile on her face. She tells me "Daddy, I can do some killer doughnuts now!!" LOL. It was worth the effort a free extra 15 mph or so. It don't run against the rev limiter any more either, thank goodness.

Awesome sauce!! LOL did I just say that out loud?

When my daughter figured out how to do doughnuts I was like "there goes the beautiful lawn" I have places in the yard I don't think grass will ever grow there again. Now that she has the UTV with 170cc engine it's getting even more tore up. Glad it was worth the mod

letsride · 01-12-2017, 10:42 AM

Grass? Whats that? LOL These kids don't give a blade of grass time to grow, its a futile battle. Well they are only little once I guess so tear it up I say lol.

Yeah, you know we did the same thing lol. As long as they don't start jumping ditches and ramps we'll be okay.
