Governor Vs No-Governor Shootout On 2 Identical Mini Bikes! | Is It Worth It!

In this video we bring back our Craigslist mini bikes for an epic comparison to truly answer the question of if you should remove the governor in your mini bike or not. To begin the video we did a preliminary drag race as well as a top speed run with both of the completely stock bikes, then after that we took them back to the garage in order to show you how to remove the governor as well as look for some ways to get some free power out of the harbor freight engine. After removing the governor, we put it back of the bike and re-did the tests, this time with it side by side the other orange bike so the true speed difference throughout the power band could be seen.

To everyone planning on governor removal, would highly advise getting a billet flywheel. Those stock flywheels do explode when ungoverned

[@dylew0893]

I've heard this is only an issue if you change the valve springs to stiffer springs, as at about 4800rpm or so the valves float and restrict really moving higher. I've heard this more than a few times on KZbin and forums however i have not removed mine yet to really see. I've got a predator 79cc and a Tecumseh h35 and will admit the flywheel on the h35 is alot more solid looking. may try with that.

[@hezekiahjohnston8360]

CM .265" cam, 1.3 rockers on NON hemi engine= .345" lift at valve with 26# springs. that is the most lift some believe that does any good without RADICAL head work (welding/machining of head). port/smooth intake/exhaust, remove "step" from bowl to tract. dimple intake port like golf ball to keep flow turbulent to mix air/fuel going into motor. Billet rod as all is for naught if rod breaks and ruins motor. $65 for std, .020" or .040" longer BILLET ROD. extra jets for carb... to get light tan plug, not black plug from too much gas not enough fuel= backfire thru exhaust as unburned gas out exhaust pipe gets air and explodes, annoying. E 85... with A LOT BIGGER JETS as alchol doesn't have the BTU's of gas, methanol. that is hard on rubber parts and not recommended per sticker on the motor... NO E 85. a little 2 smoke oil in the gas to lubricate things better? 1:100 ratio?

[@liltyee3709]

What mini bike is that?

[@hezekiahjohnston8360]

if going to open up the sidecover to do the gov removal... might as well have the $45 CM .265" lift cam ready to put in there, 26# springs ($8/pair), cut 3/8" off oil dipper on rod cap so it doesn't hit the bottom of the motor when u are SCREAMING the motor and break off the rod cap/ruins the motor. $65 for Billet rod isn't too bad though, have to have 12 Point 10 mm socket and HF $10 torque wrench (with coupon) oil on the threads and under the bolt head so don't get false torque readings when torqing the bolts/nuts to recommended torque. 17 ft /lbs is the torque for the side cover bolts and the head bolts... unless use head studs then 23 Ft/lbs of torque in a criss cross pattern. .009 head gasket, PORT the head STAY AWAY FROM VALVE SEATS!!!!!!!!! they are HARD... but not that hard. the ticket, some think, is the NON hemi head on the HEMI block and its flat top piston for better compression. the NON hemi head flows well enough, but ppl hear HEMI and think... WOOOOOO HOOOOO 1000 more HP!!!!! EVERYONE KNOWS THAT... but the WEDGE head is not a bad head on the NON hemi engine. on those mini bikes... they cum with 196cc engine... the STANDARD is the PREDATOR 212cc engine and that is what HOT ROD PARTS are available for to the MAX. the 196cc???? I don't know... I don't think it takes HEMI parts???? might take NON hemi parts... run it til it blows up and then get PREDATOR 212 @ HF with coupon for $107 OTD (out the door). break in for 3 hours on home made test stand out of 4- 2' long 1x1" legs and a 1' square table top out of plywood... with a shelf under it for tools/oil/parts/etc. change oil after 30 mins. several 5 minute easy runs to heat/cool cycles.... then gradually WIND IT UP... I could wait that long... before my fat finger was under the gas tank overriding the governor and the E bay tach was reading.... 5800.... 6000RPM's. but reading on karting.4cycle.com PREDATORS... ppl say that valves bounce off the seat at 5400 rpm and that is as fast as it will go with stock springs. they make 12.8# HD springs for a little more UMPH... or 12.8# (on the seat) springs 12.8i (improved) for stock karting applications that may or may not pass tech inspection. 22# springs for 6500 but max lift is .... .315" at valve? 26# springs max lift is ~ .415" @ valve but HARD to get the keepers in without that 3rd hand and arm to push down spring and get the keepers ON THE VALVE stem and not have the spring SHOOT the keepers... in your eye... across the room... never to be seen again... unless in ur eye. safety glasses are cheap, glass eyes and seeing eye dogs are generally cumbersome and don't work as well as ... normal eyes.

The whole solution of putting a carburetor in a can full of pressure works great but how to run without it. I finally came to the conclusion that it was much more complex than just figuring out how to run it with fuel injection. That was all on a old 1970 BMW motorcycle that I had a 1981 L engine in that was pretty trick. It put out about 100 horsepower unboosted but of course...

If you simply take out the governor and leave everything else stock, you will probably dramatically shorten the life of the engine. Quite a number of internal parts need to be changed out for the engine to survive the higher rpm. A brain is a terrible thing to waste, wear a helmet and strap it on properly, long pants and a long sleeve shirt and gloves are a good idea also, we have a saying in motorcycling, "All the gear, all the time", its good advice.

[@eddwiggins4383]

That governor wasn't put there by some old man saying "Slow down!". It was put there so that the engine wouldn't rev higher than it was designed to. That extra 3 mph will greatly shorten the engines life.

[@Deucealive75]

That's not exactly a true statement. The governor is there as a means of automatic throttle control. It will react to changes in load at a fixed throttle position. Not allowing too high a rev is just a nice side note to their functionality. These engines were not designed for mini bikes and go karts. They are utility engines that are used to power equipment that do not have top speed and high RPM in mind. 3600 RPM has been a standard for decades and the engines are designed around that RPM. With the governor fine tuning screw you can set the governor to react at a multiple range of RPM values at full throttle including RPM higher than 3600. The governor will even react to a change in load at any fixed throttle position. It's not there for full throttle only. With the Honda designed throttle arrangement on these engines the governor is responsible for closing the throttle to idle at the moment of startup after the choke is manually opened. Yes, the governor does function at idle. The governors automatic operation is not very desirable in a variable throttle application like a mini bike or go karts where people want full control over their throttle. This full control allows higher RPM's than a governed engine would allow and is the reason people want to disable or remove them.

[@scottbenzie7820]

the governor Is there to meet epa grandfather standards. other bike like the yamaha tw 200 and the old Honda off road mopeds. they met minimum pollution standards in 1984. and because they've had no changes in motor design the do not have to comply with modern standards. and China does not give any fucks , and has been copying small Honda motors for 50 ÷ years

The new MegaMoto 212 Pro series bike has hydraulic disk front and rear brakes ! They reportedly work well. That is mind blowing ! This will increase the stopping power by 300 percent ! There is nothing ever that could so dramatically affect safety. I would say it will reduce stopping distances to one third or less of the back wheel only drum brake. SO the big question is: IS the Chinese source of the MegaMoto the same as the old MiniBaha and if so there is a very good possibility that the front forks interchange in dimension and fit etc. This means a half million of the Mini Baja bikes sold in the last 15 years could be converted to include at least include the added feature of hydraulic front brakes added. I believe the current incarnation of the Mini Baja is called the TrailMaster but not absolutely sure they have the same source. It just looks very much like they share parts.

Idk if the gov was taken off it by the people i bought it from but id did go faster than my go kart with the same engine. And i did blow it up once having it wide open rippin down the train tracks for a long distance, it seized up on me. Back than i didnt know anything about a gov but lookin back on it now, i dont think it had one. Shit, i even used fishing string as the throttle cable lol. Run about 4 or 5 strands of high test thru the cable housing and you got yourself a cheap diy throttle cable. It does wear down and break, but it will last a long time. If it does break run more strands than previously before.

Removing the governor system will give more power but you should build the motor to be stronger on the internal parts like crankshaft gears and cams lifters push rods rocker arms connecting rod and piston and piston rings and a lighter flywheel to help prevent engine damage and use 15w-40 engine oil with Lucas oil stabilizer to better lubricant the engine with that much higher RPM’s.

[@robspear03]

All irrelevant. Its not a GX160/200 or a Briggs Animal. Its a Chinesium clone that cost $100. Valves will float at or around 5500 rpms, sounds like a high speed misfire, meaning its time to get off the gas. Conrods fail from incorrect oil levels. Flywheels......show me where one turned to shrapnel and ill buy ya a beer.

[@DaveDuzzit]

Is it worth it? At first yes. Then the OEM valve springs wear, float, and full send your valve into the piston.

[@officialjamescharleshatecl4990]

Agreed however predator engines are cheap so if it last for a while and they get their use out of it, it may be worth it

[@code23hyper44]

Anything can break really. They last if they aren’t running at high rpms, but things just rattle apart otherwise.

[@DaveDuzzit]

Mini Bike Madness that is definitely the solution. The people watching the video that don’t know that should probably be informed though. It’s also recommended to replace the piston rod, and get a carb build kit with a new main jet. More valve tension adds resistance to the cam/crank and requires more fuel/air to run higher rpms within a proper air/fuel ratio.

got side cover off might as well put in a CM 265" cam, 1.3 rockers on NON hemi engine, 26# springs, longer BILLET ROD to see 6500RPMs+ header with scooter muffler, bigger jet in (390cc) carb (depending on elevation, check plug... black plug =too much gas/not enough air=wasted gas), light tan plug is what we are looking for. white plug is too lean/runs hot/burns up motor. port head with dremel grinder and 80 grit sanding drums to open up intake/exhaust port and ease valve bowl to intake tract "Step" so air flows free. NON hemi head doesn't seem to run into coil bind with the coils being compressed to MAX and breaking valve/retainer and dropping valve into the motor... ruining the motor. 26# springs good for ~.425" lift? 22# springs good for ~.325" lift? depending on casting as all are a lil different. BILLET rod .020" oversize ? to get piston to 0 deck height. .009 Head gasket (stock on NON hemi engine) so have ~.030" piston to head clearance. Billet flywheel if expect over .... 5500 RPMs? $120 for a flywheel for $100 motor???? epoxy magnet and holder to the flywheel so magnet doesn't fly out /off like a bullit... but 5.x # flywheel exploding cant be good to anyone within 100'+++ . 3/16" plate steel tween motor and operator? HEMI engine with HIGH LIFT cams might run into piston because of canted valves on HEMI, less of a problem with NON hemi engine which many believe is a better head than the HEMI head? who wud have thought?

Bruh I know this was 5yrs ago are you still around?I got one these and had the gov out in a couple days I have wheelied over on it and landed on my back 3 times now there's a lot of mid range torque and I would hit a bump on purpose to try a wheelie and it would just keep coming like a tractor learned this is not a wheelie machine the hard way 😂

[@ReelRadical]

At the start of the video I heard “ supgy wshow remgiv gee roo minibike”

[@James6fohh]

Bro this comment had me dead

[@jasonchitwood7436]

In my personal opinion removing the governor only increases top speed. As far as overall performance you just can't get beat having a governor. A governor gives full throttle it only back's off at higher speeds. Imagine having a riding mower without a governor Lol it would be horrible especially when it was in high Grass and your governor wasn't doing throttle control it would probably choke out you'd think It would have more power without a governor but that's not the case. Now if you we're building a race engine that you are gonna be running full throttle and near top speeds it would be great but anytime your trail riding etc I think you'll be surprised of the overall performance with the governor hooked up. Also unless you can adjust a governor and know anything about spring tension and it's affects you would be wasting your time trying to argue the matter.

[@ceciljones4491]

Good vid. Its the same on any small motor that has it removed or bypassed

[@mingusbreeze]

Thanks, guys nice comparison video.

[@TheTallRaver]

Great comparison! Thanks

[@jtamsett]

I do not understand the deal about taking out the governor just hook up the throttle cable directly to the carburetor and go for it. Wtf.

[@Uscfan8510]

Jason Tamsett not how that works

[@1darrious2tim]

10 mph more

[@123jamesiscool]

Because the governors usually break apart inside at high rpms if you don’t take them out

[@matthewgray1115]

Depends on whether you want shrapnel in your crank case or not🤔

[@PucketyCrik]

Why don't you just disconnect the external governor arm and linkage?

[@stevemoilanen3464]

Because then the rod would be loose, and free to contact the crankshaft. The arm/linkage assembly holds the rod against the governor gear which in turn holds the gear in place. Those pieces all work together and must be removed together.

[@bassmafiavlogs7430]

Did anyone else notice he seemed a little smashed in the beginning???? lmao 🤣

[@stormtaker63]

The govenor stops the engine from over speeding. Once the engines starts overspeeding, the engine will start sucking the engine oil into the valves and into the engine. And there goes your engine with the aluminum rods

[@SirHumboldt]

lol nah

[@JoesGoldenGarage]

I’m a UGA boy but my Texas cuz is an Aggie so y’all good people. Good stuff. Just subbed

[@johnchassie-rideout4927]

Hey guys check out red beards vid on removing the governor. He has a neat trick to make getting it out quick and easy. By knocking out the governor gear pin that it spins on. Also a 1/4 inch bolt will self tap into the governor arm hole and the governor gear pin hole.

[@ploprod8021]

damn, you gave the gasket a good run for its money!

[@nollidelddik]

Right off the bat dude almost eats shit!🤣

[@HeyDude93gt]

We used a string tied to our governor for short burst on our go karts when neighbors would chase us

[@gabriellentz2516]

Lol, my stock 1979 Honda Z-50 Mini Trail goes 34mph. But nice job.

[@joshsrcs]

You don’t gain HP by removing a governor you gain speed because the engine already has the power to make that speed

[@coby4482]

higher RPMS create more HP. the engine is rated at 6.5hp.... at 3600rpms, if you're spinning faster than that, youre getting more HP. a.k.a removing the governor does gain HP...

[@aaronmontero3406]

What handle bars did you guy put on these bikes?

[@josepena2024]

Im trying to find out to

[@scottphillips2420]

it would be nice if you could do a comparison with every part you put in,in miles per hour,even a high-performance spark plug.

[@toby4355]

Is taking off the governor bad for the engine?

[@mattb.2359]

Toby 43 Yes. It governs how high the engine can rev, kinda like a car rev limiter. If you take the limited out, the engine can rev higher, but also cause damage. If this mod is done, install stiffer valve springs keep

[@simonallan9941]

It's designed as a rev limiter to prevent the oil from flying out too far and away from the bearings and oil pickup for top end and also it has all its torque below that anyway 😉 better off just gearing it up for higher top speed.

[@floridahobo3698]

You can bypass the govenor with a small piece of speaker wire without pulling the whole motor apart.

[@Shady12708]

My neighbor has one of those and it does 30mph stock

[@maniacalmonster2293]

3 yrs late to it but was really hoping for more detail info about removing the governor..

[@homefrontv2.064]

i compared racing fuel and premium full and the racing fuel made it more fun I ran it all stock and it increased the horsepower a little bit

[@andrewgarcia3136]

Unless you increase compression or advance the spark timing there is no point in using a higher octane fuel

[@nicholasagnew2792]

With 212cc you should go twice that fast, those bikes need a second gear

[@kenshi600]

My 50 cc minibike goes that fast stock. Granted am only 100 pounds

[@ricksmotorizedbikeprojects9572]

Are they 79cc or 212cc?

[@SonnyGTA]

That pick up is awesome!!

[@PlayingWithFireOutdoors]

dude i know i'm way late. tape the cell to the bars, use your whole hand. And as a guy whos been riding about 45 yrs wear crash protection,. Min jeans gloves helmet skin grafts not fun.. My opinion nothing more. Great info vid no extra bs included . I'm really trying to find one of these.

[@kevingoon2747]

good job on the bikes where could i find those handlebars and risers or extenders on them

[@fan1701]

Come on guys, wear those helmets!!! Road rash is no joke!!

[@wyattlarrick3246]

Nor is a fractured skull!

[@wiley0714]

Why worry, you foresee anything remarkable coming from either one of these individuals?

[@robertcole7874]

Everyone is so worried about safety now. Not one person in our entire country that's over 30 used a helmet growing up. And we're all still here. To this day I still ride dirt bikes and four wheelers without a helmet and am still alive. Just tuck and roll bro

[@wyattlarrick3246]

@@robertcole7874 Try rolling into a telephone pole without a helmet or tree at 30 mph.

Is the orange truck a 1969 Chevy c10

[@ryze6726]

My ct100 goes 42 and I haven't touched the governor yet, cost like 50 cents for the spring I used

[@MybackHurtz1]

Do TAV vs a clutch next !

[@robspear03]

Both suck.

I want your truck! An love the mini bikes I'd do valve springs torque converter an cam header an carb an intake on them both an maybe change your gears just a lil bit
