Just purchased a 2001 GTX for 15 year old daughters. How can the top speed be limited without damaging the engine and/or controls?

it can't....
Well.... maybe it can.
The only way to safely reduce it's speed is to limit how far the throttle will open. So... if you made a ring that would go over the grip, and only allow the throttle lever to open so far... that would be the only way I would know to do it.
You don't want to try to build a throttle stop at the carbs because you will wind up breaking the throttle cable... and there isn't a way to do it electronically on a 2001 ski. (a 2004 could have a learning key built that will limit the speed to 25 mph)

With a directive that says 'if you go over 40 i take it away'
I pay $300/year for $100k in insurance... just in case.

The ring is a great idea... a simple solution! Thanks!

Now that I've been at work, and my brain has come to life... you could just get a hunk of "Fun Noodle" and put it over the grip, and hold it in place with some vinyl tape. (Do an over wrap)
