First off, welcome to the Forums.
You have a decent bike. I like them, but Im to big for one. -_- And the Zumas a great too.
CDI- Purchase a NCY racing/no rev limit.
Gauges are hardly ever accurate on these things
If there is a washer in the Varo, take it out.
Also, what are the Varo Weights?
Get a Kevlar belt. They last longer and react better, because rubber gets hot in there.
