[dsn_klr650] clutch springs

I just put in some Vesrah springs. There was a significant difference between the stock and new spring length. We are talking like 3/16" difference. I am attributing that to tired stock springs AND the new springs maybe being a tad longer. I don't know about the second part since I didn't measure them and check against the manual specs. When I installed them, the springs engaged after like the second thread of the bolts. The rest was pre-load. Sorry I don't have any performance comment. laterZ Dash At 02:56 PM 6/16/00 +0100, Mark wrote:
