tuning vespa gts 300 with CVT baseline before exhaust or ECU

I want a sensible tuning vespa gts 300 thread because most advice jumps straight to pipe, rollers or ECU. Mine is a daily scooter, so smoothness and reliability matter more than a loud launch.
I found this related page while comparing notes: tuning vespa gts 300. I wanted a practical thread before guessing.
Would you check belt width, roller condition, variator ramps, clutch dust, brake drag, tire pressure, air filter, plug color, valve clearance, GPS speed, fuel range and legal exhaust rules first?
