2014 EZGO Express S4 governor
I just got a 2014 ezgo express s4 and want to adjust the governor to get some more speed out of it, I'm assuming this is the governor adjustment like the older models:
My question is what is a safe amount to adjust it? Is there a way to tell what is damaging? Or just go to the point where is gets choppy like the older ones and then adjust some back out? It's the Kawasaki 13.5 hp motor with the hemispherical head if that makes any difference. Thanks in advance |

Re: 2014 EZGO Express S4 governor
It's as simple as tightening the slack out of the throttle cable. The governor will still kick in and hold you back a little bit. It's best not to adjust it too much until the motor is good and broken in though.

Re: 2014 EZGO Express S4 governor
that is the shift cable!!Do not adjust that cable. Tighten the throttle cable and under a black metal cover on top of the motor where the throttle cable runs, there is a lever that is held with a 10mm bolt.You have to remove the shield or bend it out the way(like I did). Losing bolt and slide towards back, should give you more speed. I have a 2009 st express limo and currently run 24 mph on gps. I did not move mine all the back, only a little. No pics,sorry.

Re: 2014 EZGO Express S4 governor

Re: 2014 EZGO Express S4 governor
I got mine from 17 to 21mph, beyond that adjustment point there was no difference other than starting to choke itself out

21 is all you can get out of the new ones? I was hoping that 25 was within a real reach with the governor adjustment. Keep us posted on how you do.

Re: 2014 EZGO Express S4 governor
21 is good for the 13hp on big wheels - also keep in mind that the 2009-up carts have plastic gears as part of the components of the governor in the rear end, if You adjust the governor out too far it's not a question of "If" they'll grenade and lock up your rear end, but "When" ... With the Kawasaki's, it's almost essential to have a tach if You're going to set it up for speed, in addition to the delicate gears in the rear, the rev limiters in the ignition are actually set at a higher RPM than valve float (which makes them basically useless) - a tach is the only way to really be sure You're not going to destroy your engine if You're running with anything other than the factory governor settings for any extended period of time. Might not happen this year, might not happen next, but it will - maybe tomorrow, you never can tell.
