Heavy Duty Springs

[Ham]

In the past i have had a 07 hayabusa that i purchased with heavy duty clutch springs the only thing that i noticed was clutch lever was stiffer.

Now i have a gen2 is it a must have mod, any positives for a average person who cruises around the city.

I am not a drag racer nor do i plan to become one.

If your just cruising then I wouldn't worry about it. I have three HD springs in mine just because I am a fat a$$ and love to rip it on occasion.

Ok but whats the explanation behind using HD springs.

keeps the clutch from slipping under higher than normal horsepower

What shade said. They just apply more pressure to your clutch plate. If you haven't had an issue with slippage you probably don't need them.

cool thanks. No problems with slipping.

I can think of no reason to do this if you're not drag racing. It will only potentially cause problems, for absolutely no benefit because you're not racing. (e.g., there are a few other things you should do with HD springs, like a clutch slave support or your clutch slave will eventually leak, lever adjuster, and probably a clutch cushion kit).

i had half of mine replaced with hd springs cause i was at the time doing some drag racing. part of the light weight clutch mod i did. even at that the clutch is a bit of a bear. especially just riding around.

If you have a gem 2, then clutch mod and benefits of full synthetic oil is a must!
