Periodically, the CVT (variator, belt and clutch) should be inspected and cleaned. Often, the "belt-dust" (particles of the belt) accumulates in the variator and clutch, and should be removed with compressed air and the belt should be inspected for wear and stretch. I replace my belt regardless of wear every 3000 miles.

Also it is good practice to SAND the shiny-ness off of the CLUTCH BELL SURFACE and the CLUTCH shoes when you inspect/clean the CVT.

But if you want you bike to be snappier off the line, replace the variator weights with lighter weights, or BEST, flat-slide type of LESS than you stock weights. If your bike is stock, the weights will be 14g. Try a set of 12 or 11g FLAT-SLIDER weights. A larger steep-angle variator such as a KOSO 115mm will greatly improve take off as well.

Lastly, AFTER you have done the variator, you could try a different clutch shoe and contra spring set, I like the red ones.

With my set up (list of parts on sig, my bike is my avatar pic) I can pull a mean hole-shot on dry road, and hit 60mph in 9 to 10 seconds.

I see you are using 10g weights, try going up to 11
