If you have a CVT like the one on my 2009 Tomos Nitro 150 cc scooter, you will have a screen on the air intake (an rounded rectangle roughly 3x5 cm). The original screen was not only quickly clogged but broke very soon. I replaced it with a small piece of standard aluminum screen and hose clamp. Living and driving in and around a major US city in the North, I've found that the screen still gets covered quickly with debris, mostly leaf, lint, paper, and hair. We have to remember to clean these each and every season, or face the many consequences: poor acceleration / efficiency, CVT belt, clutch, and pulley wear are just a few of the most obvious.
