Greetings:
I'll add check your own compression to Baka-san's advice. Easy and Cheap, with the $9.00 tester I posted up earlier. The compression test will give an indirect assessment of the integrity of the valves' seal to their seats. At 2800 miles, I'd be surprised if they were bad enough to matter. I agree the problem is more likely in the CVT system's belt and/or rollers.

also for one thing i've noticed when riding it on full throttle. the bike tends to be * (topping out at 35mph). anyone might know a clue to that problem? perhaps fixing that is the only matter really.

Change the spark plug. This is the most neglected maintenance item on a scooter. While changing the spark plug, do a compression test. Next check the air filter.

Could be a problem with the float valve, letting fuel pour out the overflow line while riding. Once stopped, a working vacuum petcock would shut off flow, and you might not see any fuel once stopped.

If you have downloaded the Service manual like you should have, you would not need to ask this question. Look in the "Honda Service and Owners Manuals" section.
