Which clutch springs
SV650 X 1999
How heavy are the heavy duty springs compared to the OEM, im a wimp and have weak forearms lol. My springs (lol) are all below 56mm now and vary from 55.6 to 56mm. Im contemplating leaving them in for a softer clutch action, however will this 0.4mm upset the alignement. Thanks Last edited by beabert; 22-11-09 at 08:51 PM. |

Re: Which clutch springs
Is the clutch slipping? If not then don't worry about the numbers.
The SV clutch doesn't need stronger springs, they'll make the lever heavier for no benefit.

Re: Which clutch springs

The adjustment is fine, and its impossible for me to judge how bad the basket is. Im hoping it was just the crap oil as everything is to spec. |

Re: Which clutch springs
Yup stronger springs will not help the dragging at all.
