I have a koso variator, it needed heavier weights since it was lighter, but doesn't seem to perform different, my opinion is a performance variator without a performance drive face is a waste of money. If your gonna get a performance variator you'll need a performance variator kit like dr pulley,ncy or hoca, still i feel its not worth the price tag.

Sliders. The ATM works quite fine like that, but perhaps new sliders could improve acceleration by increasing RPM's by 1000.

The ATM50's rear tire on mine is not balanced. However while riding there's no significant wobble or vibrations felt from it.

They have digital tachometers which aren't particularly good looking, but cost upto $20 delivered. (they're just practical, in a sense that you could read the RPMs; however, the LCD display is too small to read while riding). Here's a nice looking, cheap one ($20): Only problem is how to install it.

Got my scoot! runs awesome! soon as i got it i changed oil (mineral blend to help break in castrol 4T 10W40 and gear oil coastal 80W90. suprisingly fast i weigh about 150 and on a flat stretch the spedometer is off the charts at about 55 MPH. Also changed plug to NGK CR7-HIX for winter being cold since its a warm plug and summer i will change to CR8-HIX since its a cold plug. 105 kilometers on it runs great, should i be aware of anything down the road that might happen?

Yes, I'd say don't go all out in the first 500 miles. Standard factory recommendation on ANY scooter! Fact that you already did that, may bring problems down the line.
Anyway, on mine, only the sidestand peg nut was loose. I also filed off some of the frame to have the sidestand peg go up a little more.
Aside from that, you should be good for at least the coming 2k miles, and hopefully the next 6-8k miles (if you do frequent oil changes). I presume from looking at my scoot's wear, that around 8k km's (~6k miles) or more, I'd have to change the belt, tires, and check the brakepads.
Aside from that, I had to adjust the rear brake (small adjustment screw on the rear drum) a few times now. But now I've learned to rely on the front brake only (with engine braking). It provides sufficient braking power for normal riding. The rear brake I only use in combination with the front brake for emergencies. Rear brake squeeks hard too.
