Hi, I've got a 2008 version of the same bike. Many times when the belt breaks, if it still has roller weights, one or more will flip sideways in the variator. This is the front pulley. If this happens I would think it could throw off the whole balance and yet still allow the bike to run but do as you describe. The tough part is that it is really hard to remove the variator without an impact wrench. Hope you have one (or access to one) Do consider Slider weights next time, they don't do that and they allow the bike to perform better at lower RPMs.
