2008 RXV gas governor gear in axle

matthd24 · 04-05-2019, 09:54 AM

Hello,

I recently bought a rxv that didn't have the correct motor. I pulled that and sold it and now am installing a VC 625cc in. It also came with a brand new in the box team driven clutch and I will be using VC primary clutch for my install. My questions is does anyone have any more information on the plastic governor that in the rear axle? If i am running over 35mph will this gear fail or will it be fine. I have read within some forms that guys say take it out but have not found anyone saying they have had problems with it.

Thanks

Well decided to find out for myself - when I split the rear diff the plastic govener gear fell out ! Suggest anyone who is going over 24mph to get this taken out.

Tried talking to Ezgo service guy that I see not very often...he just hung his head. I am in favor of keeping the governor working since a few different people use the cart.

Does anyone make a metal one to swap it out with ? Are there any performances advantages to making one slightly smaller or larger ?

Can't see having to "replace " the entire rear end if it blows apart and the dollars involved when so many other accessories are out there.....

Do any vendors sell them.?

hmmmm....who do I know that has sand castings capacity.....
