thx for the reply.

well my son is 11 YO and i wanted him to ride on state trails so couldnt even get a 90 cc.  this is really his first atv and we are just starting t go riding.  the trail closest to me is just a pretty strait trail where more top speed it needed more then anything to really enjoy it.  i just find the 8mph is just to slow to enjoy cruising down the trail.  i follow or ride in front and 8mph does seem to take so enjoyment out of it.  after some time we will start to get into some more advanced trail rides with some mud, hills, etc.  myself, this is the first time ive ridden an atv in quite a # of years.  lol.

yeah, since the machine is under warranty and i dont feel comfortable with doing it myself, im taking it to the dealer for the spacer in the tranny.  from my research on line this may almost double the top speed.  if i could get 15mph out of the 70cc i would be very happy.

Hi, also new here!   ;D

So got my son a new mongoose 70 and i was hoping to get some more top end out of it.  I rode my 400 along side of him and it looks like hes topping out about 8mph.  i backed the rev limiter screw for the thumb throttle all the way and barely made an improvement.  I spoke with the dealer and they said theres another rev limiter in the transmission and they can remove it, of course for a fee.

I am disappointed that out of the box the top end is so slow.  Almost to the point that I feel something may be wrong with it.

I did read that there may be a green wire I can cut that may control the top end speeds also but not sure I want to do that.

Guess im looking for the communities opions on what I should be getting for top end for my 100lb son on a wide opne trail and what my options may be for increasing the speed more and making the ride much more enjoyable.

thanks in advance!
