Probably 20th time I've wrote this on this forum.

Brakes in, open throttle, let go of the brakes slightly just to let the scooter slowly move forward.
Repeat 2-3 times.

Done.

know that solution. But this is opposite. It starts normal for few miles then problem kicks in. Even at ideling its picking to start.

Happened once, I did what I wrote, it went away.
It's usually the other thing but even that only came back twice in 20.000km.

I was thinking to send you a PM just few days ago because you did not write anything on the forum for a long time.
How many kms do you have?
You should inspect all parts of the CVT by measuring various parts to see if they are up to specs.

Check the Var/rollers/drive boss while you have it open. If any of those have ANY play you will feel it in the drive.

Sorry to drag this up, but how long do you hold it back and let it move slowly forward?  I have done this now twice, maybe not doing it long enough though, and yet when I take off it starts to take off and then it like jumps and almost pops the front tire off of the ground.  If I am not mistaken it is the same thing I read somewhere else that this so called fix is supposed to fix. 

Do I need to say do it 2 or 3 times going forward very slowly for say 15 to 20 feet at a time?  Or is a say 5 feet at a time sufficient?  Or should I look at something else being the cause?

I can't say that I was really paying attention on how long or how far I was going doing it, but it took under a minute, and I've had
to do it twice in 12k+ miles to get rid of the surging start, and it didn't come back after that.

The key is to get the revs as high up as possible, and keep the clutch slipping as much as possible and that means going
very slow, walking pace slow. 2 or 3 short runs and it was smooth as butter after that!
