I finally got it right, First with help of Alleyoop got my highest RPM'S ;D Then discovering I adjusted the valves when warm, and of course had trouble, I adjusted them the right way (cold) intake .004 exhaust .006, then today I took off my CVT cover, removed my clutch bell and sand papered my clutch pads because they were glazed over badly. WOW  what a difference! Great take off, quick climbing speeds, as I flying down the highway I couldn't help think about that old movie Easy Rider (Born To Be Wild) I was in the Zone  (Also many thanks to those here that help me along the way)  Attachments:

That clutch pad thing worked near-miracles for me too. Unfortunately I'm noticing what is probably a little bit of glazing coming back, because I've been doing a LOT (like 2-3 hours at least) of very low speed practicing in anticipation of the DMV skills test this week. Cone weaving, slow turns, figure 8's, and so on. I plan to re-roughen the pads just before going down to DMV just to be sure the chattering and jerking won't mess me up. After the test I shouldn't be doing much super-slow stuff at all, so ought to be alright from that point on. Would be great if they could invent a pad that doesn't glaze that easily.

Yea the trick is to find WEAK CLUTCH SPRINGs that will be allow the pads to be thrown out with good centrifigual force to grab the bell good and tight at low rpms.

Define "weak." Are they measured in footpounds or megaNewtons or kiloJoules or what? Can they be bought that way? Newbie, still learning.

By being to easy on the throttle the clutch almost engages fully and has just enough to where it can slip . I have seen many do this by trying to be gentle on their scooter by wind up glazing the pads . You can not hurt it by hitting the throttle hard .
Stock springs engage at xx RPMs where the HP one can engage at 1,000 , 1,500 or 2,000 RPMs higher than stock . This is like having a stall convertor in an automatic tranny in a car
