When engine warm's up CVT becomes very jumpy taking off from dead stop. Clutch seems to wait for too high rpm's before engaging. Belt is good and tight.

Open up the clutch and lightly sand the pads. They are probably glazed. Then, to minimize that problem in future, be a little more aggressive on initial takeoff, not laying rubber, but enough gas to force the clutch arms out as soon as possible. Odds are you've been gentle on takeoff, thereby slipping the clutch. Been there, done that.

If your scooter is like my 2011 Roketa, take off the ?aluminum? cover on the left side, then take off the round clutch bell -- may need an impact wrench for that. Doing so will expose the clutch arms and pads, which look like small brake pads. Just take a piece of fairly coarse sandpaper and sand them all LIGHTLY to roughen them up. Then blow out any dust, put everything back together, and you should notice a difference. If you find, however, that they are seriously worn, might have to replace them. Probably not, but be prepared for the possibility.
There may be a video somewhere here, or out on YouTube, but it's really a pretty straight-forward deal. Hardest part for me when I did it was getting the rubber gasket for the outer cover to stay in place.
