My 7 year old asked me if I could increase the spped on his 1995 kitty Kat...it still fits him great and I need to do some work on the carb replace gaskets etc. i thought I would need changed to increase spped, i assume a smaller sprocket or some sort of govenor adjustment? I woudl apreciate any assistance thank you! Everything is currently stock on this sled.

Re: increase Speed
Leave it that way (stock) and sell it. The money you will spend getting more speed out of these engins isnt worth it. You take a chance of blowing the sucker up and than more bucks to fix it if you can find the parts. Like I said sell it and use the money towards a 120 sled of your choice. If hes to small for a 120 you can always slow it down with some adjustments and when he is bigger you can speed it up as he grows into it.kittycatrider wrote:My 7 year old asked me if I could increase the spped on his 1995 kitty Kat...it still fits him great and I need to do some work on the carb replace gaskets etc. i thought I would need changed to increase spped, i assume a smaller sprocket or some sort of govenor adjustment?

Changing those small motors from stock is just asking for trouble.

Thank you Devo. I agree i just thought there were some easy adjustments. i just purchased a 120 for my other som the 9 year old and we do want to figure out how to make that faster and I assume that would not be an appropriate topic on this site. My 7 year old fits the 120 fine and the stock speed on teh 120 seems fine for him. I think I will look for another 120 and keep the kitty cat for my 3 year old daughter...

You can get them to go faster without blowing them up or spending a whole lot of Ca$h. Those Suzuki motors are pretty solid, you can bypass the governor with a zip strip and change out the drive sprocket, for less then $50-60 you can get your self an easy 5-7mph out of it. a new 120 is $2400. pretty easy decision. My kids have just about outgrown their 120's and we had kitty's before that. I enjoyed the kitty's better other then the fact they get stuck in 5 inches of snow. at least I could pick one up and put it on the workbench or in the back of the van, by myself.

there are plenty of forums/threads about swapping out the 120 motor for a 200cc motor. it's a bolt in swap on those sleds. the honda 120 is the same block as the honda 200. I picked up a 200cc clone of the honda for $85 on sale at my local harbor freight and dropped it in my kitty cat. it's an ANIMAL now.

I have one kitty that I modified, but the other one I purchased a gx200 stage 2 from Rec motors.. and shoe horned it in there. it bolts right in, but its kind of like stuffing a big block in a Chevette, it fits, but its tight. But Holy Cow does it stand up and boogie.
