New belt and rollers needed i would say!
Also clean up the variator mech and check the faces of the pulleys for scoring or damage. use some VHT grease on the variator centre bearing/bush on reassembly.

Standard weight, standard size. Who said anything about fancy ones.

Could be clutch. Could be slipping belt. Could be that youve got the wrong powerband in the engine.

Variator is located inside the belt housing on the side of the engine. Purchase a haynes manual or get a workshop manual from the interweb.

But seriously, dont fuck with anything you dont fully understand without the correct tools. Take it to a dealership or bike shop.

And that sig is asking for abuse!

How many miles are on this thing? you may need to replace the piston rings, and maybe the piston. You should get these parts from a breakers yard for less then half the price of new, just ask how many miles they have on them, the guy I go to would say (I pulled this from a bike with less than 5k miles on it). It would be a good idea to replace the belt as well because as it wears it changes the gear ratio slightly. If your rollers have developed flat spots this may also affect your top speed so pick up some replacements, new not used. Replace the spark plug, clean the carb and it's jets, remove the exhaust and get ride of any carbon build up on the end that connects to the engine, pump up your tires, and if it's still slow then your probably going to need a new clutch system, Either that or it's actually a 50cc engine..
