No the loss comes from the belt not from the vario it won't increase HP
Only thing a Vario or clutch change will bring is an other pickup point on RPM HP will be the same its still 41 BHP on the crank for a 500, 44 for a 500 HPE and 32 for a 400 22.7 for the 250/300
Did these test on the same dyno way back in 2009/2010
A mp3 400 got 32 at the cranck 22.7 at the rearwheel tested on a dyno that you can set for a CVT important
Do it on a dyno that is set on for a geared bike then a CVT bike will gain a lot of power

about 45 on the rearwheel because wrong messurement
Same Dyno Runs done as set as CVT
A mp3 400 with different weight rollers still got 22.7 on the rearwheel
a mp3 400 with Dr Pulley SR2517/8 17 gram still got 22.7 on the rearwheel
A mp3 400 with Jcosta first gen still did have 22.7
same dyno on my 400 changed in to a 460cc 44.1 on the cranck and 36.3 HP on the rear wheel with a rapidbike and worked head intake and outlet ports bigger this option did cost me about 5000 euro's finaly at 48 hp on the crank and a engine that lasted no more then a year
Did this one not long ago for a friend
500 ie ABS ASR 41 HP crank 34.3 on the Rearwheel change the stock Throttlebody for the HPE one 44 crank 36.5 rearwheel so 2 HP will cost you about 1000.- euro installed the 0.2 hp more could be outside temp different mixture, thinner gasket, but 0.2 is nihill in increase pick 2 same engines and there will be some differents between them
