This first thing I would do is change the oil and put on a new CVT belt to see if that would not change the motoring characteristics.
I am not an expert, but break in recommendations are made for good reason.

Hi,
Yes I treated the motor as if it was new. What went on before I bought it I don't know. Oil change when I got it then I change the oil every 200 up to 1000mi. The belt also was changed.
I've riden other MC-95s with about the same results. Weight and resistance are hard on that motor . Ive had a bunch of CN250 clones all on bikes that come in at least 125lbs lighter.
As a rule I break in by the book but I have a friend that lives by the "hard break in" and he's never had a problem. I just have the guys to do it.
Be Big,
AMAC
