So my variator and air filter came in. I've got the variator all installed, and it's running great. Seems to have a bit more acceleration but it's hard to tell as it's so cold. The scoot seems to run a bit better when it's a little warmer, so we shall see.
What I wasn't able to do is change the clutch spring that came with the Multivar. I got the clutch off, but I could not get the nut off the clutch assembly to pull it apart. I used a strap wrench around the clutch and tried my hardest, but I just couldn't get that bastard loose. Guess I need to get a large socket and try again when it's a bit warmer.
