From Dr. Pulley, "HiT Clutch" user manual: 

2.
Powerful takeoff but
no riding comfort.
Engaged rev too high. Replace with softer clutch spring.
Actuation timing too early. Replace with harder pillow spring.
3.
Powerful takeoff but having
vibration at initial stage
Engaged rev too low. Replace with harder clutch spring.
Belt slippage** happened in the
front driving pulley. Replace with heavier roller.
Belt slippage happened in the rear
driven pulley. 4. Replace with harder torque spring.
Smooth takeoff but solid
engagement not obvious
Belt slippage happened in the
pulley. Replace with a new belt.
* It’s dangerous to actuate the throttle fully and suddenly when softer pillow spring and harder clutch spring are used at
the same time, as the vehicle might jump into the air abruptly to cause serious damage or injury.
** The belt slippage can happen in the pulley due to the solid engagement and less slippage with the clutch bell. The
abnormal surface temperature of pulley can be taken as checkpoint to see whether the belt slippage exists.

So apparently it IS possible to wheelie one.  :D

Over the past few weeks I have been loosing top end, and take off power. I started to foul plugs in 2-3 days. I figured it must be a loose jet so I pulled the carb/cleaned it w/ no obvious problem. On a hunch I pulled the freshly cleaned air filter, and A LA WA... In the air, almost on my a$$. I forgot how much it has on the bottom.

I'm pretty sure it is a section for tuning the cvt taken from a Dr. Pulley install guide.

Yep, that's what it is.  I just thought it was funny how they worded the part about jumping into the air!!!   ;D  You know, since you had wondered about wheelies.  Ha! 

I emailed Dr. Pulley (actually it's called Unionmaterial.com)  a couple weeks ago inquiring about sliders and they sent me a lot of stuff about their sliders and clutches. Apparently you can still get sliders directly from them.  They offered me a deal for a HiT clutch for about $400.  They'd throw in a set of sliders for free.

That's not too bad of a deal! The Malossi Delta for your scoot is around 390. alone. If they throw in 40 bucks worth of sliders all the better.

I've heard great things about the Dr. Pulley clutches as well!

I SEE A LOT CAN BE DONE WITH THESE SCOOTER BUT AROUND 50 MPH IS GREAT FOR JUST A BOSS DRIVE CHANGE AND TO BE TRUTHFUL IT CAN REACH THAT WITHOUT A CDI DERESTRICTION

Only w/ the S9 tho! If you did the rest of the mods/kit...70mph. Not too shabby for a $1'300 toy

Dual discs, and the frame is chromoly. The scoot was made for circuit racing. That may be why they stopped producing them. Price vs. cost
