Does anyone know the size belt for this beast? Got 842-20 and too tight, and scoot does not run right with this belt. Any help would be appreciated.

842 is correct your scooter has 13 inch wheels and 10 bolts holding the cvt cover. If you get the elcheapo belt you will get a few miles out of it. Like 3 or 4.I have good belts on my site.

Will try installing same new belt again. Have all tools and air tools 2 boot. Can I lubricate the clutch with anything to insure it is working properly?

as tvnacman said, check your variator. keep in mind that the variator face should be off and the clutch pulley open (it's tough but squeeze it with your hands and get the belt in as far as you can) when installing a belt. tighten the variator nut by hand and keep checking that the belt is not in the way to keep it from sitting flat. then tighten for real. i use a regular impact driver (not an impact wrench). it gets it plenty tight and never had a problem, except my first go when i did not keep the belt out of the way and it was crooked, not visibly so but it was actually only tight to the belt so it loosened as soon as i took off. ruined the variator in the process but i learned well from it.
