Bypassing the governor mechanism or modifying it to run faster is more dangerous than physically removing it.
a governor is made up of a spinning shaft with a bracket containing flyweights in the spring mechanism. Some of these parts are generally made of plastic, and only design to spend as fast as the governed speed of the engine would normally allow. bypassing the governor linkage means your engine is spinning faster, which means you're plastic Governor mechanism is spinning faster. the plastic will eventually let go, releasing the metal parts into your crankcase, which can cause a catastrophic failure.
