A few days ago during a run to town for some things when I started the scoot the starter relay stuck and ran the starter while riding. Of course the battery was soon dead. Called our son to bring a trailer and haul me in. Relay was dead.
I had a Ford relay left from some other project but of course the scooter wiring will not operate such a large relay. But is will operate a horn relay. So the horn relay works the Ford starter relay which works the starter. Total cost, zero. Wait for parts, zero. I rather think the Ford relay will outlast the whole bike.

May be stupid but it works very well without the problems you suggest.

On mine I use a BIG screwdriver, insert it to the bottom of the pulley and spread it apart as far as it will go, then push the belt all of the way down at one point to keep it spread. That gives enough slack to remove the pulley/clutch off without removing the variator.

I am nearing 9000 since July 2011 and once I got the bugs out I see no reason that it should not got a lot more than 20,000.
It took about 5000 miles to break in to where it quit using oil and does not need any added between changes. I run full synthetic oil and gear lube as I have in all of my vehicles for many years. I would not hesitate to take off on a ride for several hundred miles.

I think the leaves were/are very cleaver.

I'll throw in my two cents. I had the same stutter with my 2011 yy250t. Nothing I did seemed to help. In the process of regular maintenance I put a couple of drops of 90 w synthetic gear oil on the needle bearing. A drop or two got on the inside of the bell. Been as smooth as silk ever since and that is probably at least 3000 miles.

I did buy the part seals from a Honda dealer near where we were at the time. (We are full time RVers and I haul the scoot on a rack on the rear of the motor home and a Smart behind that.)
Honda Part #51490-KL8-900
Thanks for your service to us scoot people.

I found that fork seals for a Honda CN250 Reflex fit and work perfectly. And for a lot less that new fork struts.
