It's a two stroke?

HAHAHA, so you bought it used with 7k miles on it and you only have put about 150 miles or so on it.

Well here is the thing if it starts up nice and easy and idles nice and on the center stand it revs up good then I would suspect the problem is in the CVT and not the motor. But I can tell by the sound of the motor if it is weak when you twist the throttle and I also need to see how the rear wheel is spinning when given throttle.

It would be very easy to find out if ONLY for someone to hold the bendix in place and starting it and watching how the cvt is working with the COVER off.

Now some have wired the BENDIX in place to hold it so no hands or used I will try to find the picture of that shot so maybe you guys can do that and have it for use later on.

FOUND IT:
See the WIRE WRAPPED AROUND THE END OF THE BENDIX SHAFT do that and then start the VIDEO and we can watch the CVT working or not working right and we will be able to tell right away what part is bad.
Now you can wrap the wire around it and actually then just hold it back with your hand above the cvt and away from any moving part. Or you can do it like in the picture he used the bolt and hold to the right of it that holds the cvt cover on to hold the wire on.

If the motor sounds good and it runs good It may be the Variator hanging open and not closing that would give you MOTOR REVS but no mph. In the 7K miles it has have you every changed the weights and plastic guides in the Variator.
So if the motor sounds good and it revs then THE next thing to do is TAKE the Variator off and inspect the weights and guides and it may be all that is wrong with it.

YES, drain it and fill with new oil. That could be why it slowed down on you the oil is to dilluted and it got to hot and got a soft seize we hope and did not do internal damage to the motor.

Well if it is dry then not a problem. Is the belt dry and not have oil on it then it is not a problem with leaking oil in the cvt. But you do want to clean it out so you can see the shiny metal behind it. What happens is with the heat it creates as the belt wears and heats up it sort of melts the rubber part of the belt and it sticks to the inside of the cover and the back cover. So clean it out before you go and put it back on get a roll of paper towels and wipe that stuff out.

So NOW check the OIL LEVEL in the Crank Case. Do you know how to do that? If oil level is good put the cover back on and ON THE CENTER STAND see if it will start the rear wheel turns when giving some throttle.
