increase power on a honda adventure 350 without hurting CVT reliability

increase power on a honda adventure 350 forum question

I want to increase power on a honda adventure 350, but I commute on it and do weekend trips. I care about smooth roll-on more than noise.

I found this related page while comparing notes: increase power on a honda adventure 350. I wanted a practical thread before guessing.

Before trying to increase power on a honda adventure 350, should I inspect CVT belt width, rollers, variator ramps, clutch dust, brake drag, tire pressure, air filter, plug, valve clearance, GPS speed and fuel economy?
