Keep my predator 79cc stock?

[volcarius]

I just got my engine and since I’m new to this I’m wondering if I should remove the governor and upgrade the carburetor and stuff or if I should keep it the way it is until I know my way around this motor first. I’ve seen a couple videos and tutorials for removing the governor but I’m not sure if I would even need to right now. Once the engine is bolted into the frame and mounting plate can I still remove it if I want to modify it? Anyone who has experience with the predator 79cc know how difficult it is to remove the gov? Thank you

Get the setup running stock. Then later install an aluminum flywheel, stiffer valve springs, etc. They can make the engine go from 3600 rpm to 5000 rpm. There's a few threads on both motorized bicycle forums telling how to do these upgrades. You can look them up with either forum's search fearture.

If using for a daily commuter, I advise doing the upgrades. You'll cruise at 3600 rpm but can give a short power burst up to 5000 rpm.

Cruising level ground speed 30 mph max speed 41 mph on 26" wheels.

is he gonna have the power for that tho? cruising speed will prob be lower even with those mods, id also recomend an exhaust, stock are pretty restrictive if ur gonna rev higher, but personally id leave it stock for now

With the Predator engine adding the mods latter on will allow you to maintain a level ground speed of 35 mph for longer periods of time. You'll also have short power burst up to 45 mph when needed.
