Title: 700i le speed issue
Post by: Jeremy319 on June 14, 2020, 10:36:22 PM

I just got a 2019 Kymco 700i le and noticed it will do around 53-54 mph now all of of a sudden it only do 41-42 and rev limiter/governor hits and won’t go any faster.  Any ideas on what is going on with unit now?

Belt slipping?

It takes off fine and accelerates very smooth and fast till it hits 42 mph

They are speed governed to around 45. I don't know how you got above that initially

Thanks that’s interesting on open dirt/paved roads it hit 53/54 then we went playing in some mud and trails and it will only go 41/42 now I took skid plates off hosed it completely off everywhere on it for like 3 hours.  It starts up and idles fine it drives as it should till that 41/42 mark.  I thought I saw a video on these on line that was a review that said it should do almost 55-56 also does this 2019 have a drive belt?

Speed is supposed to be governed to 48 mph, sounds like a clutch sticking or slipping. Remove the cvt cover and inspect belt/clutches.

How much of a pain is it to change the belt on this unit?

Lots of stuff to remove to get cover off but very doable. I would call it time consuming not difficult.

Did they ever fix the accuracy of the speedometer unit? My 2018 has always read 25% fast.. See one of my old posts.....
