The dealer is "supposed" to remove them.
But, just in case::
There may be a brass ring above the slide in the carb that limits the travel of the slide
There may be a restrictor between the pipe and the cylinder. It'll look like a washer.
Have fun

That funny Bill. When I bought mine they had removed both of them. I also know a couple other guys that bought new ones and went to take out the restrictors, but they were already gone also.

Ya that's what I thought the dealer would remove the restrictors when you purchase, but NO it's not when the salesman was rolling the "lil" Kfx 80 off the show room floor I had told him to have the service guys remove both restrictors and just use the throttle screw for restricting, he say's it's a liability that if they remove and child gets hurt, then you sue them,it's happened. My son is 8 yrs. old and I couldn't buy the quad with him with me, because child has to be 12 yrs. old or over. Dealers are pretty strict on safety
